Why we charge for paper bags
Looking after your body and the world around it often comes down to small, everyday choices.
At Holland & Barrett, we’re always working to reduce waste and support more sustainable habits. One of the ways we’re doing this is by charging £0.25 for each paper bag.
It might feel like a small thing, but it plays a part in something bigger.
Why this matters
- It supports the planet
- Paper bags can be recycled
- Charging for bags helps reduce single-use packaging and encourages reuse, which lowers overall impact.
It encourages simple habit changes
Bringing your own bag is a small shift that makes a real difference over time.
It’s an easy way to build a more sustainable routine, one that supports both your lifestyle and the environment around you.
It’s part of a bigger picture
Every choice adds up.
This charge is one of many steps we’re taking to reduce our environmental impact and move towards a more sustainable future, so your everyday routine can feel a bit more considered.
Forgot your bag?
No problem, we’ve got paper bags available in store.
They’re made from 100% recycled paper, so if you do need one, you’re still making a more conscious choice.
