KUALA LUMPUR,18/6/2021 – Lotus’s Malaysia today launched its second and third flagship stores, Lotus’s Penang E-Gate (Penang) and Lotus’s Desa Tebrau (Johor). On the back of the launches and in line with the Malaysian government’s Roadmap to Zero Single-Use Plastics 2018-2030, Lotus’s has also stopped offering single-use plastic bags at its checkout counters.
Penang Chief Minister Yang Amat Berhormat Tuan Chow Kon Yeow believes that this initiative by Lotus’s to remove single-use plastic bags at its checkout counters will be a game-changer on how the retail industry manages the sustainability of plastic use in the supply chain.
“In our ongoing efforts to achieve a sustainable future for all, we need leaders in the retail industry to lead the way. Lotus’s with its network of 62 stores nationwide, is the largest retailer in the country to embark on this initiative and we hope that other retailers, big or small, will take notice and make a change just like Lotus’s,” he said.
