M&S 100% Recycled Plastic Bag

M&S branded carrier bags were given to customers with their shopping as early as the 1900s. There have been lots of different designs, slogans and materials used. In 2008 M&S introduced a 5p charge for large food carrier bags, profits from bag sales were donated to charity.
