Top 35 Retail Ideas in September

With the looming threat of climate change, the September 2019 retail trends reveal a renewed effort to make in-store shopping a little more eco-friendly—particularly when it comes to grocery shopping.

One example of a supermarket chain that is attempting to go green is SuperValu with its new compostable shopping bags. Unlike traditional plastic shopping bags, the compostable versions will break down in just 90 days, helping to eliminate 2.5 million bags from the market.

The September 2019 retail trends also reveal a similar initiative by Lidl. The discount grocery chain recently began offering reusable produce bags for fruits and vegetables. The reusable produce bags are part of Lidl's wider commitment to cutting plastic packaging by 20% by 2022 and shifting its own packaging towards reusable, recyclable, renewable or refillable alternatives by 2025.
