March 9, 2020, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – UNIQLO Malaysia today announces that it will introduce original eco-friendly reusable bags in all UNIQLO stores nationwide starting March 16. UNIQLO is working to reduce the number of shopping bags and encouraging customers to use their own shopping bags.
UNIQLO is committed to minimizing the environmental impact of its business while offering products and services customers can use with confidence. With environmental pollution from plastic waste becoming a growing concern worldwide, UNIQLO’s parent company Fast Retailing Group has set a target to reduce the amount of single-use plastic handed to customers in the form of shopping bag and product packaging at its Group stores worldwide by 85%, or around 7,800 tons annually, by the end of 2020.
UNIQLO Malaysia has made efforts in eliminating the use of plastic shopping bags in 2017 by switching to paper bags. This new effort is initiated to further reduce usage of paper bags and encourage customers to use their own shopping bags.
UNIQLO’s original eco-friendly bag comes in two size (M/L size) for RM7.90 each. It can be folded into a compact size, which makes it a great convenience for customers who adopt an eco-friendly lifestyle.
