Beginning June 1, Cincinnati Kroger stores will be removing single-use plastic bags. Several stores across the region are handing out flyers to current customers to draw attention to the big changes. These flyers read that the plastic bag cutting is “working with the city to ban Cincinnati plastic bags,” and part of the store’s Zero Hunger initiative. The Norwood business is not counted as it is a separate parish and is not affected by Cincinnati’s bag ban. Reusable and paper bags can be bought in stores. The COVID-19 pandemic has tarnished Cincinnati’s plastic bag ban, which was passed by the city council in September 2020. That ban was supposed to go into effect January 1 of this year, but has been postponed due to the pandemic. It is unclear when it will take effect. Legislation prohibits all stationary food businesses from making plastic bags available to customers. Customers must bring reusable bags from home or they can buy reusable cloth bags from stores, the regulation says. Any company that does not comply can be fined $ 100 per day. Kroger stores have been behind the ban since day one and intend to phase out single-use plastic bags and switch to reusable bags in all stores by 2025.
