Carrefour<\/a>, operated by Majid Al Futtaim in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is endorsing the adoption of sustainable alternatives in stores as it celebrates the\u00a0Plastic Free July campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The initiative promotes the use of durable, reusable juco bags with attractive offers and rewards, while also reducing the availability of single-use plastic bags across its stores in the country, a press release published via Zawya<\/em> revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To commemorate the start of Plastic Free July, Carrefour is offering a 33% discount on its durable, reusable juco bags.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, customers who bring their own reusable bags or purchase one in-store will receive five extra SHARE points.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The retailer will also offer complimentary reusable bags for those spending more than Dh40 ($11) in the fruit and vegetable section.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Starting from 3 July 2024, which coincides with International Plastic Bag Free Day, Carrefour will eliminate plastic bags entirely from all its stores every Wednesday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
