Tesco will be scrapping the 5p single use carrier bags later this month, replacing them with a new '˜Bag for Life' made from 94 per cent recycled plastic.
From August 28 the new bag will be priced at 10p and sales will fund community projects across Britain.
The announcement follows a successful 10-week trial in Aberdeen, Dundee and Norwich, where Tesco found that customers bought significantly fewer bags.
