Apple stop giving plastic bags

Apple Inc. have announced that they will no longer be giving out plastic carrier bags to customers at their retail stores. The decision was made during the current times where environmental concerns are at their highest for a long time and more people are becoming aware of the impact plastic bags can have on the environment.

Many stores have now stopped offering plastic bags as standard now and only give out promotional bags during sales or big events for the business.

In response to Apple’s announcement, Progressive Bag Affiliates of the American Chemistry Council (PBA) has welcomed Apple’s decision stating:

“In addition to promoting recycling, many of our efforts are focused on helping retailers to avoid the use of excess or unnecessary bags. In the case of Apple stores, where many customers purchase computers and often make other single-item purchases such as iPods, we applaud Apple for taking steps to discourage shoppers from accepting bags that may not be necessary.”

With the exception of promotional bags, no bags will now be given out without a request at most Apple stores in future.

However, the PBA stressed the need for consumer choice and iterated the fact that plastic bags are actually more energy efficient to create and recycle than paper counterparts.
