Description
Currently too much plastic bags are in use in the focus area (Pécs and its agglomeration) in local shops and major shopping malls. Each product is packaged separately by the people as there is currently no other common practice. That is why an overwhelming number of plastic bags are used for packaging, and therefore the high use of plastic shopping bags is a challenge of the case study area.
Producing canvas bags and linen bins with the logo of the city and distributing them to residents at an affordable price or free, encouraging them to use less plastic.
Objective
Reducing single use plastic bags.
