Description
In 2019, Carrefour Belgium introduced a range of reusable and recyclable carrier bags made from marine waste. There are three types of bag: a tote bag, a trolley bag and a foldable bag with a pouch.
The retailer has collaborated with Seaqual, an organisation that cleans up the oceans and seabed, to source the plastics used to make these bags.
