Welcome to the Retail section of the Web Site

http://www.noplasticbags.org.au/resourceCentre/usefulinfo.aspx
 
Retail Owners, Managers and staff will find this section very useful, whilst others may interested in gaining an insight into approaches and initiatives being used by retailers
 
The core concept behind the Bag Smart campaign is that greater and more sustainable change will occur when retailers work collaboratively with their community to change the way people carry their shopping. This section provides both some ideas and possibilities you could use in a store and how you could connect and harness community interest in reducing plastic shopping bags.
 
It is important for every retailer to customise their approach to best suit their customers, and their resources. Intentionally we have only offer you thoughts starters (rather than specific direction) under the following headings for you to consider

• The price we pay
• Phase Out policy
• Preparing your store
• Customers
• Staff
• Training CD
• Mercahndising
• Choosing the right options
• Be a Bag Smart Store
