New figures on carrier bags use released by WRAP

The baseline figure for subsequent years shown here differs from those previously published. This is because data from Morrisons is now included in the published figures as it is now a full BRC member and has asked us to disclose its additional data. We’ve added this into our reporting to give us a more accurate reflection of bag use over time. WRAP’s vision is a world without waste, where resources are used sustainably. It works in partnership to help businesses, individuals and communities improve resource efficiency. Established as a not-for-profit company in 2000, WRAP is backed by government funding from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. www.wrap.org.uk Follow us on Twitter: @WRAP_UK
