Report Details Closed Loop’s Reusable Bag Pilot Involving Three Major Retailers

About 100 billion plastic bags are used each year in the U.S. alone, with less than 10 percent of them recycled, by multiple industry accounts. The amassing waste is too great for any one entity, whether retail chain or other, to tackle. Having positive environmental impact will require collaboration among retailers and other partners along the supply chain, as this is a systematic problem. This is a recurring message in a new report released by Closed Loop Partners.
