Woolworths supermarket trial new paper bags

We didn’t see this coming! - by Michelle Connolly
  • 17 Oct 2019

How many times have you left your green reusable shopping bags in the car?

Sure you can pick up a 15 cent reusable bag but that is not an option for shoppers who are doing their best not to use plastics.

Woolworths supermarket trial new paper bags

Woolworths have listen to consumers cries for greener options and are rolling out 20 cent paper bags.

Even better the paper bags are reusable and recyclable.

For shoppers this will come as welcome relief, and it shows that Woolworths are listening.

Social media is already blowing up with shoppers posting both positive and negative feedback.

“Paper bags a good concept until the bum falls out when something from the cold section is packed and bottom gets wet yeah right can remember the old days having bottom fall out and everything falling out”, commented one.

“ Next we'll have the hugging tree protesters out front of woolies chained to pot plants to save a tree 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️”, added another

“Wow, it’s about time”, added another.

At this stage it is believed that the new paper bags are available in limited Woolworths stores as a trial.

A Woolworths spokesperson has confirmed to New Idea Food that the paper bags are a trial in some stores: "We’re trialling paper bags in around 20 stores to test customer demand and will closely monitor feedback as we do.

"The vast majority of our customers bring their own bags to shop, but we know there are occasions when they forget or visit our stores unplanned.

"We continue to offer our Bag for Good and 15 cent reusable plastic bags to our customers in all our stores."

Look out for the new greener option the next time you forget your shopping bags!
