The Japanese retail chain said the move is part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability.
A sign outside Don Don Donki's Paya Lebar Square outlet says it will discontinue the sale of plastic bags from Oct 1.
News of the change spread after a Reddit post showed the signs placed in various Don Don Donki stores. Of the 12 people ST spoke to, half of them said that they are fine with the cease of plastic bag sales, as they already have the habit of carrying their own bags since major supermarkets such as NTUC FairPrice and Sheng Siong began charging at least five cents for plastic bags in July 2023.
The corporate analyst said he visits Don Don Donki at least once a week to buy vegetables, fruits and fresh meat. He usually buys two plastic bags from the store during each visit, and carries his own cooler bag for perishable items.
