Like the original SM Greenbag that started the green movement a decade ago, the new SM Greenbag’s reusability literally makes it an Earth-saver every time it is used and reused.

“We would like to thank the support of the millions of shoppers who continue to reuse their SM Greenbags, especially those who believed in our advocacy since day one; a time we were the only retailer pushing for reusable shopping bags. We know that our shoppers will be busy buying gifts for their loved ones as well as ingredients for upcoming parties and Noche Buena that’s why we are introducing the bigger and stronger SM Greenbag. By strengthening the pioneering SM Greenbag, we aim to continue doing our part for the environment in a stronger and more exciting way and this affirms our commitment towards greener and more sustainable shopping habits.” said SM Supermarket president Joey Mendoza.
