ZERO PACKAGING WASTE TO LANDFILL

Make a promise to the planet. For the past few years, we’ve made a commitment to phase out single-use plastic with our zero packaging waste to landfill vision. So, more and more of our stores are becoming plastic shopping bag free.

OVER 250 WOOLIES STORES ARE PLASTIC SHOPPING BAG FREE

We’re doing everything we can to stop the use, and our reliance on single-use plastic shopping bags. But we can’t do it without your help. Before you shop, stop. And remember your bag. Any bag will do. 
If you make it a habit to bring your own shopping bags every day, this one small action can make all the difference. 
Since 2019 we’ve saved more than 36 million single-use plastic shopping bags from going to landfill. Together, we can do even better in the future.

TIPS TO REMEMBER YOUR REUSABLE SHOPPING BAGS

We asked our customers to share their top tips for remembering their reusable shopping bags, every day.

  1. Make it a mantra: “I add it to my necessities checklist – keys, phone, wallet, bags. Coach yourself by placing your keys on top of your bags to grab as you go.” - Melissa Mungroo
  2. Hang ‘em on a hook. “I hang bags right by my alarm panel. A kitchen door hook will also help you remember.”- Theresa Naicker
  3. Involve the kids: “Explain why you want to take your special bags and put kids in charge. It teaches them responsibility and why reusable bags are important.” - LaylaB
  4. Wallet wonder: “I fold mine neatly in my wallet.” - Lauren Gerber
