If the thought of no plastic bags ills you with fear, don’t worry ‘cos the change won’t happen immediately. The goal is for all the bags to be gone by next June and Woolies will still have its recycled paper bags available. That gives you well enough time to invest in some nice reusable shopping bags.
“Ultimately, we want to sell less bags altogether,” managing director said .
Essentially, the shops will be running down their stock of bags until there are none left.
The wee plastic produce bags — the ones which — will be sticking around. But according to the ABC, Woolies is also looking to “explore more sustainable options” for those too.
If you’re in South Australia and the Northern Territory the bag ban is coming for you soon. They’ve already been phased out in Western Australia. WA may be behind in the time difference but by golly, they’ve beaten us on the placcy bags.
New South Wales only introduced its in November 2021. In SA (yep, those icons) single-use plastic bags have been banned since 2009.
But it looks like people are already trying to cut down their plastic bag use. According to Woolworths, eight out of ten customers bring their own bags to go shopping with.
And if you’re really desperate for bags, I’d recommend a visit to literally any sharehouse ever. Because if it’s like mine, there’s 100% an alpha shopping bag stuffed ominously with piles of its reusable shopping bag brethren.
