UAE-based retail chain LuLu Hypermarket has partnered with Dubai Municipality to distribute 6,000 eco-friendly reusable bags in Al Barsha, Dubai.
The initiative was part of the retailer’s corporate social responsibility to raise awareness on the environmental benefits of reducing the use of plastic bags.
Lulu currently operates 145 stores globally and has been continuously supporting government initiatives.
LuLu Hypermarket launched its new campaign ‘I Choose to Reuse’ in collaboration with Dubai Municipality’s Waste Management Department.
The awareness initiative will feature a ‘green checkout’ programme in LuLu’s cash counters that promotes the use of eco bags.
LuLu Group executive director Ashraf Ali said: “This great initiative is one key to provide a cleaner environment and promote sustainable development through simple and little ways with a substantial impact.
