 ShopRite across Lagos ends nylon bag use, adopts reusable bags under single-use plastic ban


Shoppers visiting ShopRite supermarkets across Lagos State this January 2025 have noticed a significant change; the retail chain no longer provides nylon bags for groceries.

A comment under her post confirmed the update, with another user sharing a similar experience at a different ShopRite location.

Although the ban had been in place, the October directive marked the government’s intent to strictly implement the policy across the state.
