Bulgaria's Varna-based supermarket operator Piccadilly will replace with polydegralex bags the polyethylene bags used in all of its 19 stores as of January 12 2009, the company said.

The campaign is part of Piccadilly's new clean urban environment project.

According to data on Bulgarian environmentalist website Gorichka.bg posted on the chain's website, more than 1.2 trillion plastic bags are used around the world annually, which makes an average of one million a minute.
