"Aldi Ditches Plastic for Paper Bags in 2,300+ Stores"

Aldi has eliminated plastic shopping bags in all 2,300 of its US grocery stores as part of its commitment to promoting sustainability. The decision aims to reduce the usage of plastic bags and encourage customers to bring their own reusable bags. This move is expected to prevent almost 4,400 tons of plastic from entering circulation annually. Aldi also plans to use natural refrigerants in all US stores by 2035 to support a healthier planet and keep products fresh. Other retailers like Walmart and Wegmans have also taken steps to eliminate plastic shopping bags and promote the use of reusable bags.
