Paper bags also weigh more than plastic; this means transportation requires more energy, adding to their carbon footprint, according to research.
In a blog post, Marks & Spencer corporate affairs director Victoria McKenzie-Gould said the company hoped that the move would help to avoid “to the mountain of plastic bags” that can build up in cupboards at home.
The new bags also fold easily into a backpack, according to Ms McKenzie-Gould.
She added: “For the vast majority who already reuse their own bags, which remains the most sustainable option, not a lot will change. But on the odd occasion when we all need to reach for one more bag, we’re pleased to be offering a more sustainable option for customers.”
Morrisons was the first supermarket to scrap plastic bags in 2021.
