NB Liquor will begin charging 5 cents a bag for new environmentally friendly plastic bags.
100 per cent of the proceeds will go to MADD Canada.
Spokesperson Nora Lacy tells Tide News, the company has been looking into more biodegradable bags for a while, but could only find ones made on foreign markets.Lacy says the 45 per cent recycled material bags were a long time coming, because they could only find manufacturers in the Asian markets---meaning the bags could not be recycled in the province.
NB Liquor will continue to supply free brown paper bags, as well as new 4 bottle canvas bags.
