Shoppers visiting ShopRite supermarkets across Lagos State this January 2025 have noticed a clear change; the retail chain no longer provides nylon bags for groceries.
Instead, customers are offered the option of purchasing reusable shopping bags for N500 each or using shopping bags they bring from home.
The government also revealed that it is working with private sector organizations to provide alternatives for styrofoam containers and other single-use plastics, while supporting research into new technological solutions to address plastic waste.
