Sam_Tarrant great stuff what about the other supermarkets

how great is the Co-Op-we the people should get behind them again

Now the government should force all major chains to do the same

About bloody time. Italy had these over 20 years ago!!!

Not like primarks that decompose in the rain?

Well done Tesco 👏👏👏

At last !!

While a good environment story, how come no coverage of PeoplesWalkForWildlife

Wouldn't shop in the Co -op if I even got a shopping voucher 4 it.

Well done Co-op 😁

How much do they cost and where does the money go?

WELL DONE TO THE CO-OP. WAITROSE, SAINSBURYS, TESCO.........WHERE ARE YOU

Genius, someone will eventually invent a brown paper bag...

paulerudolph Nice work

They work ok in italy

Great! End of the world postponed

Good !

Well why are they charging for the bags ? The bag TAX was for plastic bags

Great. Shame their “bags for life” fall apart before you reach the exit door. They rip around the handle section and have to be discarded. coop

coopuk those "biodegradable" bags are not the solution to the plastic problem and plasticpollution! They don't break down! Stop tricking people into believing that this is the environmental friendly solution!

Why is this news? All carrier bags should be biodegradable.

Aye but that's no good if they turn tae compost the second u leave the shop like plastic bags do

And if one can do it they all can!

Coop had these compostible bags about 5 years ago and discontinued them. Are they reinventing them to make out they are reducing plastic use. Less plastic on all products would be more beneficial.

It’s need of the hour

Why don’t they do this here in USA?

Will they still charged for them bag4life

Backwards step for the Co Op!

Yes! Well done Co-Op.

yesssssssssssssss

I believe, the question is here not well answered, our intention is minimize plastic consumption to BeatPlasticPillution

Well done coop that is the most sensible thing I’ve seen on the plastic bag issue.

Everyone should do so.

Bet they still charge 5p for them.

Everything plastic needs to be compostable

migraine medicine...for a price. Wasn't there was a time when this kind of research was done by Universities...for free? Now they're businesses.

Why not all of its stores

So, they are still pushing the idea of a throwaway society.

Does that mean they break before you put your shopping in them or just after you reach the door?

oOo
