Albertsons has a long and proud history of environmental stewardship. We have been involved in recycling since 1994. For years we have proactively worked to reduce the consumption of plastics in our operation and recycled what plastics we do consume.
Last year alone, Albertsons recycled over 1.4 million pounds of plastic that would have ended up in landfills. Reducing plastic bag consumption and helping to eliminate plastics from the waste stream cannot be accomplished by Albertsons alone. So we’ve launched an aggressive, “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” customer education campaign in our stores to make this issue top of mind for our shoppers. Currently, our stores carry plastic and paper bags to serve our customers, as well as REUSABLE BAGS to help reduce the impact that plastic bags have on our environment. SHOP SMART! SHOP GREEN!!!

 Even if disposed of properly, plastic bags are not bio-degradable and never completely disappear from the earth. Littered trash bags are also a major cause of death for marine animals in coastal states. The collection and disposal of these bags will cost local governments hundreds of millions of dollars this year alone. Please don’t ask us to double bag your groceries, our bags are stronger than you think. Please recycle your plastic bags at our convenient recycling bins by each entrance/exit. |
