Despite decades of “levies”, billions of single-use plastic bags still flood our streets and seas every year. The Shoprite group and other South African supermarkets report billions of rands in revenue each year from the use of plastic in their stores.
34 other African nations have shown the courage to ban single-use plastic. South Africa and its supermarkets need to step up. Shoprite must ditch unnecessary single-use plastics in-store and invest in reusable and refill options to drive real, sustainable change.
Supermarkets are the biggest drivers of this crisis, which means they have the biggest power to fix it.
