Founding Partners of the Consortium – CVS Health, Target and Walmart – are calling on other retail leaders, from general merchandise to grocery, apparel, pharmacy, home goods and beyond, to get involved. The Kroger Co. joins the initiative as the Grocery Sector Lead Partner. "Our commitment to phase out single-use plastic bags across our enterprise and support innovative solutions on our path to Zero Hunger | Zero Waste aligns perfectly with Closed Loop Partners' goal to reinvent the retail shopping bag," says Keith Dailey, Kroger's Group Vice President of Corporate Affairs. "We encourage other retailers to join us in this commitment and bid farewell to the single-use plastic bag for good."
