This is good news!  Businesses are taking responsibility for their single use plastic.  There are so many other biodegradable alternatives.

'Sainsbury's has become the first UK supermarket to remove plastic for its loose fruit, vegetables and bakery items.

By September, paper bags will be available to customers for loose bakery items. Customers buying loose fruit and vegetables will either be able to bring their own bags or buy a re-usable bag made from recycled materials.

This alone will reduce their plastic output by 489 tonnes, and the retailer is also reducing the amount of plastic used for its packaged fruits and vegetables.'
