> Industry Issue - Plastic Bags
The retail sector like so many other industries continues to evolve and develop to the times we live in. One thing that has not changed however is the basic principle of listening to the customer and responding to their needs. Central to the way retail shopping has been conducted around the world for almost the last 30 years is the plastic bag. Current estimates suggest we now consume somewhere between 500 billion to 1 trillon worldwide per annum! There is a growing acceptance that this cannot continue indefinably. Certainly the shopping public are starting to look at alternatives. Similarly many governments are starting to take measures and in some cases legislate in an attempt to curb the problem. This combination of customer trends and government intervention has major implications for the retail sector generally.
> Commercial Solutions To A Social Problem
Unfortunately to-date both customers and retailers alike have had very little by way of real and commercially viable alternatives to the trusted but nevertheless harmful plastic bag. Poor design coupled with expensive or limited use materials such as paper, calico, and jute etc. while useful, do in practical terms, fall well short of being cost effective long term solutions.
