Apple Stores will change plastic bags for paper ones

Far from entering into the controversy that the vast majority of establishments aroused when they began to sell the bags to take our purchases home, the Cupertino-based boys are determined to change the plastic bags that pollute the environment due to their slow degradation process, for some paper ones, as the publication 9to5Mac has leaked, thanks to the photo that one of the employees has sent them. The interest in protecting the environment at Apple is not new, but this change is one more proof of your commitment to nature.

Tim Cook has always stated that he is committed to the environment and his intention is to raise awareness in the world so we can leave it better when we leave than when we found it. On April 15, Apple Stores will begin to use 80% recycled paper bags. These bags will have a medium and large size to accommodate the products that we can purchase in physical Apple Stores.

Currently, Apple Store employees follow certain guidelines before delivering a bag to customers by asking them in advance if they need a bag. If this is not the case, employees remind customers that thanks to that little gesture (do not request a bag) are contributing to a healthier environment. We must bear in mind that a bag itself is nothing, but if we extrapolate this gesture in all the Apple Stores in the world and all the sales they make throughout the day, we can see how that simple gesture can help the environment very much. ambient.

In the document that Apple has sent to the Apple Stores that They will start using paper bags on April 15, affirms that if they still have plastic bags invites you to go through the page that Apple has for the environment so that it is clear, if you do not have it yet, that you should recycle those bags instead of throwing them directly into the trash.
