putting 10 small items in 10 separate bags. <\/p>\n\n<p>In recent years, this syndrome has spread to co-op workers, who now insist on plastic separation, and they&#8217;re surprised if you ask otherwise!  <\/p>\n\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter whether the shopper&#8217;s house is next door to the co-op or in Samarkand.<\/p>\n\n<p>Despite official and public warnings from the <a

Public Authority<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/keps.org.kw\/ar\/1558\">Kuwait Environment Protection Society<\/a> and others about plastic hazards, and initiatives encouraging people to use biodegradable bags, this doesn&#8217;t eliminate the need to reduce their use and adopt sustainable alternatives.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The Co-op Bags Syndrome has negative health, national, and financial impacts. How? <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-plain has-white-color has-vivid-green-cyan-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-78f37bf38a1e08ea0f527a277d2ba96a is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-12df332df09c8181a13fb86c436e91a7\">In many countries, shoppers put everything in one bag, and no diseases have spread from &#8220;mixing&#8221; items <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>Health-wise, product packaging technology has advanced significantly in recent decades, making it very difficult for product contents to leak, unless glass breaks.   <\/p>\n\n<p>In many countries, shoppers put everything in one bag, and there have been no reported cases of fainting, exhaustion, or death from &#8220;mixing&#8221; items. Therefore, shoppers are health-safe from mixing hazards, if any exist.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Nationally, we&#8217;re a people who daily declare &#8220;love for Kuwait.&#8221; So where&#8217;s the concern about national environmental pollution from bag waste?  <\/p>\n\n<p>Even if plastic is made from &#8220;environmentally friendly materials,&#8221; the bag manufacturing process itself usually produces pollutants. At minimum, there&#8217;s fuel consumed in generating electricity for the factory.  <\/p>\n\n<p>This brings us to the final point &#8211; the financial aspect, which personally affects the shareholder. <\/p>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s in the interest of cooperative society shareholders and boards of directors to increase revenues and reduce expenses to increase annual profits. <\/p>\n\n<p>Does excessive bag use reduce expenses and increase year-end profits, regardless of the cost per bag?  <\/p>\n\n<p>Just as shareholders pay for &#8220;free&#8221; items and some promotions, they also pay for bags from their own pockets, either through profit deductions or price increases at the cashier. Nothing is free.   <\/p>\n\n<p>We believe and recommend economizing on plastic bags, and perhaps using reusable types, as they&#8217;re better for the environment, the country, and your pocket.
