This past Friday, Sobeys eliminated the single use plastic bag from its stores across Canada, taking a big step to support the environment and joining a growing trend towards the reduction of single use plastics ranging from bags to forks to drinking straws.
According to the Sobeys Website the initiative will take 225 million bags per year out of the waste stream. The stores now offer a range of more sustainable options including cloth / reusable bags, paper bags and sturdy plastic totes to help shoppers get their groceries home.
Here at Field Agent we wanted to see what this looked like in reality so we had 132 Canadians tell us about their shopping trip to Sobeys over the past weekend. We have summarized the results in the infographic below.
