CA startup, Albertsons
Plastic Free Partnership
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — California
startup, Lotus Trolley Bag, is partnering with Albertsons to deliver reusable
solutions nationwide for Plastic Free July. The
grocery giant is expanding its eco-friendly reusable options by showcasing a
new concept called the Lotus Trolley Bag. You Can see My review HERE. Sorry the giveaway ended.
The innovative bag set spreads across the cart, and is
redefining the way people shop for groceries. The four-bag set includes an
insulated bag plus removable rods that allow consumers to easily sort and pack
groceries in half the time. Since launching less than 2 years ago, 110 million
single-use plastic bags have been eliminated.
Albertsons launched the reusable Lotus Produce Bag
to replace the reliance of plastic in the produce section. Jennifer Duvall, co-founder of Lotus Trolley Bag, “Teaming
with Albertsons is another positive step in the right direction in the fight
against plastic pollution.”
The average American family uses 1,500 plastic bags per year for
an average of 12 minutes. And by 2050, researchers found there will be more
plastic by weight in the ocean than fish, one reason why Lotus Trolley Bag and
Albertsons are encouraging change.
Farzan Dehmoubed, co-founder of Lotus Trolley Bag, “Produce bags
are usually ignored, but more retailers are seeing the value to the environment
and their bottom line by investing in reusable, washable, and eco-friendly
produce bags.”
Currently, Lotus Trolley and Produce Bags are in more than 2,500
different stores in the U.S. including Albertsons, Vons, Acme, Jewel and
Safeway. Lotus Trolley Bag
also donates 1% of all sales to 1% For The Planet,
Plastic Pollution Coalition and Surfrider Foundation.
