Morrisons has issued a storewide ban in the run up to Christmas, which will affect all shoppers ahead of the festive period. It comes after rival supermarket giants Tesco and Co-op also decided to enforce the same ban previously.
The ban sees plastic packaging axed from all of Morrisons' Christmas gift wrap and accessory ranges. The move means more than 3.1 tonnes of plastic shrink wrap will be ditched from the store's wrapping paper offerings alone, as reported by the MEN.
This is on top of Morrisons' removal of glitter and plastic from paper wrap, crackers and cards in previous years, which has also dramatically reduced its plastic usage by more than 150 tonnes in the last three years. This year, the supermarket has decided to scrap plastic film and plastic shrink wrap from its festive wrapping paper and gifting accessories too - including gift tags and bags.
