Stores are running out of paper bags

First Coop branches not supplied: Switzerland is in danger of running out of paper bags – “very tense situation”

Waste paper has not only become more expensive, it has also become scarcer. Coop, Migros, Denner & Co. – or their customers – are now feeling this. Will the paper sacks open soon?

In short supply: paper carrier bags from Coop and Migros. A piece has cost 30 centimes for many years.

Employees of the CH Media editorial team have made identical observations in the past few days. An editor looked in vain for a paper carrier bag at the cash register in the Coop branch in Baden train station. A saleswoman explained to him: “We don’t have any more, we’ve run out. There are delivery problems.”
