Do you realise that every time the Redmart delivery person offloads his trolley, he will hand you one plastic bag after another and another...and another?
Almost every item is packed in individual strong and large-sized plastic bags. Even items from the same category are often packed in separate bags when they can easily combined. For orders around $100, i can easily get 5 to 7 plastic bags.
Sometimes, they will even give you a box filled with plastic bags of goods. The delivery person does not accept the plastic bags to re-use as well.
We do not need to look far to find appalling facts on how the excessive use of plastics have irreversibly damaged our precious marine life and ecosystems.
We, the undersigned, are appealing to REDMART to reduce their use of plastic bags for deliveries.
Environmentally-Friendly Alternatives to Consider:-
1. To let the consumer opt for a no-plastic bag delivery during the ordering process;
2. To allow the consumer to opt to combine the goods to a minimum number of plastic bags;
3. To charge for the use of plastic bags during deliveries;
4. To introduce re-usable bags scheme to encourage the consumer to give back the reusable bags to the delivery person for other deliveries.
5. To pioneer this no-plastic initiative to influence other companies to follow suit.
