Quotes

...Last month, Chief Executive Barry Turner was quoted as saying that: "what is constantly overlooked is the success of voluntary measures in the uk – supported by all major retailers – which have halved the resource impacts of carrier bags. we now use less virgin material, far more recycled plastic and have brought about a significant increase in front of store recycling bins for bags. if other industries had implemented anything like the resource reduction we have achieved in the bag industry over the last four years, this country would be able to say we are making real progress on sustainability and resource management."
