ATB reveal what changed since the fee for plastic bags was introduced
From December 10, the prices for plastic bags for primary packaging in the ATB network correspond to the cost of bags (9 and 12 kopiikas).
This was reported by ATB in response to a request from NV Business.
The supermarket chain also said it had no data on the decline or increase in demand for plastic bags.
At the same time, buyers can get the bag for free, but only if they are ultra-thin plastic bags, which are the primary packaging for fresh fish, meat and meat products, bulk products, and ice.
At the same time, the company stressed that ATB-Market is actively working on the introduction of alternative eco-packaging for customers.
"Since March 2021, the company has launched biodegradable eco-bags made of corn starch Pochatok for sale in all stores of the retail chain. Simultaneously with the transition to biodegradable packages, ATB-Market offers its customers to buy reusable eco-bags," the company said.
