Netto Marken-Discount Introduces Shopping Bag With Replacement Guarantee

German discounter Netto Marken-Discount has launched an eco-friendly tote bag with a free exchange option.

Once the bag becomes unusable, customers can replace it with a new bag, free of charge, in any Netto Marken-Discount outlet.

Eco-Friendly Bag

The company says that almost the bag is made of 80% recycled material.

The move forms part of a pilot project undertaken by the discounter in collaboration with its sustainability partner, WWF Germany.

"We want to motivate people to do without the one-time use of bags and the new recycling bag is a good alternative and should be used as a loyal shopping assistant,” said Christina Stylianou, head of corporate communications at Netto Marken-Discount.

Conserving Resources

Priced at 79 cents each, the bags are now available for sale in around 4,200 Netto Marken-Discount stores in Germany.

According to Dr. Marina Beermann, head of cooperation at WWF Germany, using the bag enables customers to make a sustainable contribution towards conserving resources and avoiding plastic waste.

The retail giant has been collaborating with the WWF since 2015 on various sustainability, environmental protection, and resource conservation projects.
