Walmart Launches Bagless Pilots
Walmart has launched a bagless pilot in Vermont, which underlines its commitment to achieving zero waste and moving towards a circular economy where materials that are used stay in use. According to the retailer, 78 percent of its Vermont customers support bagless options and key learnings from the pilot will be used to determine future direction for the company’s bagless efforts.
In addition, Walmart Mexico y Centroamerica is going bagless due to new regulations banning plastic bags. “Instead of offering yet another single-use solution, we made the decision to go fully bagless and encourage our customers to look to reusable bags,” said Jane Ewing, senior vice president, sustainability at Walmart, in a statement.
