Retailers team up to eliminate the plastic bag

Some of the largest names in retail are teaming up to eliminate the plastic bag. To replace this single-use plastic, of which the U.S. uses 100 billion a year, with an environmentally-friendly alternative, the retailers established The Beyond the Bag Challenge.

The stakes are high with $1 million in funding ready to go to winning solutions. Some parameters include utilizing innovative materials and ensuring that goods make it from retailer to their destination.

If you have what it takes to design a sustainable bag that replaces plastic bags, the retailers suggest starting with their report, “A New Way Home.”
