"US Grocery Chain Aldi Ditches Plastic Bags for Paper in Environmental Move"

ALDI has eliminated plastic shopping bags from all of its 2,300 U.S. stores, saving nearly 4,400 tons of plastic from circulation each year. Cloth bags are available for purchase, and the retailer aims to use natural refrigerants in all its U.S. stores by 2035 to reduce carbon emissions. This move aligns with ALDI's commitment to environmental sustainability and cost reduction, reflecting its position as one of America's fastest-growing retailers.
