Not sure exactly when they changed but I noticed new plastic trolleys in Dickson today. I have my doubts that entirely replacing a fleet of salvageable metal trolleys with plastic ones (even if recycled plastics) is actually “pushing for a greener future”.

There’s a reason “reduce” and “reuse” come before “recycle”. This sounds like a waste :(

Yeah, if their trolley fleet was due for an upgrade perhaps it would make sense. I do wonder how durable the plastic trolleys are long term being mistreated and left out in the elements.

I remember Target went plastic trolleys for a stint. They didn’t really go the distance.

If I recall correctly Woolworths had also tried this with Big W trolleys though all evidence of this appears to be scrubbed from the internet.
