On April 1, Marui Group Co Ltd announced that it would abolish plastic shopping bags on May 31 and switch to paid paper bags on June 1 as part of the Group’s integrated efforts to reduce environmental impact.

Targets include self-operated shops within Marui MODI stores nationwide, Marui store reception counters for external specialist stores and Marui web channel products, and Marui MODI store events.

The size ranges from S to LL, with prices in the 22 yen to 88 yen (tax included).

The Group has been working to increase the fee for plastic bags at Marui Food Court.

In order to further reduce the environmental burden, we will continue to foster a culture that encourages customers to use ‘my bags’, and aim to resolve the issue of waste plastic.
