Super markets who provided biodegradable-bags to their customers on a regular basis are resorting to alternate procedures in the wake of the islandwide ban to be enforced on such polythene bags from the 1st of next month.

In the above circumstances it is expected to introduce packs or bags produced under categories of polythene not prohibited by the government and since those would warrant more expenditure t

han the previous ones, a rumour circulates that super markets would in future not provide them free of charge but levy a small sum for it.

In the meantime, two leading super markets in the island such as Keels Super and Cargills Food City have resorted to a strategy of drawing attention to eco-friendly bags introduced to consumers with the intention of increasing the interest of the public. As such, Rs. 4 would be promptly given for each bag in the case of eco-friendly bags with their logo of Keels Super Market whenever such bags are utilised by a customer. Following likewise, Cargills Food City too have decided to add 5 points to the customer loyalty card whenever their customers make use of of their bags. These eco-friendly bags are available for sale at the relevant super markets. Under these circumstances customers who visit these super markets are afforded the favourable option of carrying with them the bags well in advance.
