        Does that mean they break before you put your shopping in them or just after you reach the door?

        @coopuk those "biodegradable" bags are not the solution to the plastic problem and #plasticpollution! They don't break down! Stop tricking people into believing that this is the environmental friendly solution!https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/may/23/biodegradable-plastic-false-solution-for-ocean-waste-problem …

        Coop had these compostible bags about 5 years ago and discontinued them. Are they reinventing them to make out they are reducing plastic use. Less plastic on all products would be more beneficial.

        Great. Shame their “bags for life” fall apart before you reach the exit door. They rip around the handle section and have to be discarded. @coop

        Why is this news? All carrier bags should be biodegradable.

        Because, to encourage the uptake of something new, the public generally need to be incentivised.
