What do I have to do
Posted: 27.04.09 | Created by:
The ban is designed to put the onus for supplying alternative bans on retailers. As a shopper, the ban encourages you to bring your own reusable shopping bags.
BYO bags
People should bring their own bags when shopping. Reusable bags such as the ‘Green Bag’, baskets, or calico bags are recommended.
Alternatives available
If shoppers forget to bring bags, environmentally-friendly bags must be made available by the retailer. These may include compostable bags, reusable bags or paper bags. However, the retailer has the right to charge the shopper for these bags.
