We are simply asking the customers purchasing items in our stores to think if they need a bag or not, introducing them to Wastage Reduction Week and using this as a talking point to make customers reflect that when you use a paper bag, you are using raw materials from nature.

This scheme has previously been tied and tested and reduced baggage usage by 38%.

The result of this action is tied into a bonus performance scheme not just during the week but for the whole month. This will help our staff get involved and motivated to drive the scheme of awareness.
