How to protect the environment with shopping bags?

A plastic carrier bag is produced in 5 seconds, used for approximately 5 minutes, and takes more than 100 years to decompose. Disposing of plastic in nature is a global problem of modern society, because according to numerous studies, 10 percent of annual production, or approximately 10 million tons of plastic, ends up as waste in the sea. This does not decompose in nature, but breaks down into smaller and smaller particles.

Active involvement in environmental protection is the long-term strategy of the Tuš Group. They set out as Slovenian traders abolition of plastic shopping bags in all of their stores around Slovenia, in which they plan complete withdrawal by the end of this year. At the same time, they placed a new one at the box office paper bag, which supports responsible management of forests. From now on, customers will carry goods in durable carrier bags, paper bags, biodegradable bags or cardboard packaging. With this step, Tuš works proactively in the fight against plastic bags, which are one of the pollutants of our environment.

In October, the TUŠ company placed a new paper bag at the cash registers, which ensures that forest management is environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically feasible.

Andraž Tuš, director of marketing at Tuš, says:

We all have to cooperate in reducing the burden of plastic on the environment, and this can only be achieved by correct and responsible behavior. We want to make customers aware of the impact of plastic bags on our environment, as their use endangers many plant and animal species. It is right to be responsible and do everything to make our planet cleaner and more sustainable for future generations. We are proud that in Tuš we have embarked on an environmental path and at the same time we are determined to influence the perception of Slovenian customers regarding plastic bags.
