MANGO is moving forward in its commitment to sustainability by replacing plastic bags in its packaging with paper bags.
The goal of the company, in collaboration with its suppliers, is to progressively eliminate all the plastic bags it uses to distribute products throughout its supply chain. The aim is to cease using approximately 160 million plastic bags per year.
The new bags to be used are made of tissue paper that is sourced from sustainably-managed forests where the practices adopted for felling trees are certified as compliant with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) international standards.
The project will initially be launched in the local production of folded garments, after successful pilot trials conducted by the firm in Morocco, China and Turkey. MANGO plans to implement this new project for all its garments by the end of 2021.
