Checkers Sixty60 launches new recycling initiative

Checkers Sixty60 has launched a new recycling initiative for its brown paper bags that will help close the recycling loop for its customers. The initiative is part of the Shoprite Group's zero waste-to-landfill ambition and will allow customers to return their used bags with Sixty60 drivers for recycling.

The paper bags are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, and comply with the highest social and environmental standards, and the new service will go further towards reducing the group and its customers' impact on the environment.

The initiative is being rolled out countrywide following a successful trial period in late January 2021.
