We LOVE plastic…but even this is good news for the environment! Apple has plans to stop using plastic bags in their retail stores. When you buy something from the Apple store, it comes in a white plastic drawstring bag. It has become quite iconic!
Starting later this month, Apple is planning on changing its bagging policy and switch from plastic bags to more environmentally friendly paper bags that are made with 80% recycled material. In addition to switching bags, employees are now being instructed to ask customers if they need a bag instead of automatically providing one. This is a commitment by the company to “leave the world better than we found it”, according to Apple.
