Walmart Inc. is placing more emphasis on offering reusable bags by placing them at checkout carousels for the first time, the retailer said.
The reusable bags are made with post-consumer content and available for purchase, the Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer said at its 2019 sustainability milestone summit April 10.
"The aim of this new campaign is to help reduce plastic waste and increase customer convenience by placing reusable bags in easy-to-find and highly frequented sections of its stores," Walmart said in a statement.
The initiative, the company said, will begin next month.
