Yesterday (4 Nov), FairPrice announced that they will be charging for plastic bags from 11 Nov.
Also getting behind the green effort is BreadTalk.
According to a press release, they are launching a “One Less Bag” trial from 15 Nov. The trial aims to reduce plastic bag usage by at least 50%.
Once the trial commences on 15 Nov, breads will be packed in threes in a newly-designed food bag. This will allow them to do away with the current double-bagging system — one for the individual breads and an outer carrier to hold all the breads.
Nevertheless, to encourage customers to reduce wastage, they will be charging $0.10 for customers who still require a plastic bag on top of those new food carriers.
All proceeds collected will go to Community Chest.
For now, 5 BreadTalk outlets will be under this trial:
BreadTalk also mentioned that notices about the trial have been put up in these stores, warning those who are unaware.
The trial will be 3-months long, ending on 14 Feb 2020. So until then, if you’re planning on visiting any of these BreadTalk outlets, remember to bring your own bags — if not to save money, then to save our earth.
