Coles has followed Woolworths in backtracking on their single-use plastic bag ban by temporarily giving out its 15 cents reusable bags without charge until Sunday, July 8, the supermarket announced.
In an announcement on July 5, Coles said in order to help customers transition into the routine of bringing their own bags, the supermarket will be offering shoppers complimentary bags in states where single-use plastic bags were removed for the first time.
