THIS HERITAGE Month, Pick n Pay and the Cape Leopard Trust (CLT) have collaborat­ed to produce a limited-edition reusable shopping bag which will be sold at some of the retailer’s stores across South Africa to promote conservati­on of the Western Cape’s biodiversi­ty, and to bring awareness of the rare leopard.

Pick n Pay said this was the fifth reusable RPET bag in a series by the retailer in partnershi­p with national non-government­al organisati­ons to help bring awareness of important national landmarks and to support worthy causes that highlight critical issues such as those linked to the environmen­t.

“We are honoured to have the opportunit­y to support the important work being done by the Cape Leopard Trust in protecting an important part of our country’s heritage. Our customers can look forward to adding to their collection of reusable bags in support of a good cause,” said Andre Nel, the head of sustainabi­lity at Pick n Pay.

The 100 percent reusable RPET

Pick n Pay shopping bag features striking leopard imagery and a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of these bags will be donated to the CLT.
