DeCicco & Sons Markets will eliminate single-use plastic bags in all of its stores within 30 days, reports Lohud. The chain will transition to paper bags, as well as encourage customers to bring their own. In 2017, the company used 22 million plastic bags.
The New York-based specialty grocer has locations in Ardsley, Armonk, Brewster, Harrison, Larchmont, Millwood, Pelham, and a planned store in Somers.
