The Warehouse Group is set to ditch all single-use plastic checkout bags and replace them with fully compostable bags.
The move will be rolled out across the all 254 Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, Noel Leeming and Torpedo7 stores in the country by the end of the year.
The compostable bags will cost 15 cents each except Noel Leeming, where they will be distributed free of charge. All proceeds made from the sales will go to charity.
This move comes off the back of Foodstuffs and Countdown's plans to phase out single-use plastic bags by the end of 2018.
Earlier this month, Countdown announced a batch of 10 stores that would have single-use plastic bags removed from May 21.
