Macy's Inc. said Thursday it will begin using partly recycled paper
shopping bags at its Macy's stores and biodegradable packaging for
its online shipments, reports CNNMoney.com/Associated Press. The
changes start this month.
The new store bags will be made from paper with 30 percent recycled
material and will be 100 percent recyclable. Its previous bag was
laminated and not recyclable.

going to the National Park Foundation.
Direct-to-consumer businesses including macys.com and
bloomingdales.com will begin using loosefill packing materials that
are 100 percent biodegradable.
