Old Navy announced last month that it will be taking some major steps toward a greener future. The brand s sustainability push includes a promise to eliminate the use of plastic shopping bags in all US and Canada stores by 2023. Soon, you ll be able to shop your favorite affordable styles
and do your part to contribute to a healthier planet at the same time.
The switch from plastic to paper shopping bags is just one of Old Navy s new plastic reduction measures. Starting this summer, any online orders will be packaged in 50-percent-recycled mailers, up from the current 35-percent-recycled packaging. The Gap Inc. brand will also be expanding its plastic hanger recycling program to all US and Canada stores by the end of 2021. (The program is already in place in over half of the stores around the country.)
