DURBAN - 5 June 2018 marks World Environment Day and in celebration of that we take a look at some the South African brands that are eco-friendly. 

Woolworths

In the next four years, Woolworths want to operate in a way that does not include nonrecyclable plastics. They have decided to become environmentally friendly to stop the terrible effects that plastics have on marine life and the planet. They have already banned plastic straws and their own brand packing will be made from recyclable material among other things.

Their environmental policy that they have had in place for many years is helping them to do so.
