Say goodbye to shopping with plastic bags with GRAB
The Gloucester Road Alternative Bag Campaign
Launched last year, the GRAB campaign aims to make Gloucester Road plastic bag free by encouraging shoppers and shops to use compostable carriers made from potato starch or GRAB’s own re-usable, funky, eco-longlife bag.
GRAB campaigner Gaby Solly explains; “We use an incredible 1.5 million plastic bags every week in Bristol and most of these just get thrown away - it’s such a waste of plastic. We wanted to offer shoppers an ethical alternative with a design that highlights the local character of the Gloucester Road.”
More than 60 shops on Gloucester Road are now plastic-bag free and seven of the UK’s supermarkets (some of which have outlets on Glossy Road) have pledged to cut plastic bag use 50% by this Spring so get on board!
