Aldi Ditches Plastic Bags in All US Stores
TL;DR Summary
Aldi has announced that it will no longer provide plastic shopping bags in its stores starting in January 2024, making it the first major U.S. retailer to do so. Customers will need to bring their own reusable bags or purchase them in the store. This move is part of Aldi's commitment to sustainability, with the goal of saving over 4,400 tons of plastic from circulation each year. Additionally, the grocery chain aims to transition to natural refrigerants across all U.S. stores by 2035 to further limit its environmental impact.
