Dear Migros team First of all, I am impressed by your multifaceted commitment to sustainable production and sales! I have heard from acquaintances that for a while you sold cloth bags that can be used to buy fruit and vegetables. My question is whether and where I can buy them? It is important to me to avoid as much plastic as possible when shopping in order to protect our environment. I hope you can help me / give me some tips.
Hi jayna29, thank you for your kind feedback. I'm sure you mean our veggie bags: https://generation-m.migros.ch/de/nachhaltig-leben/verpackung/veggie-bags.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA98TxBRBtEiwAVRLqu07_cKTZDMdkL6WeKZ2LAGcdiw8O1HSsbHIvVZ3wMSzsD7xG6C-1AhoCfXcQAvD_BwE You can find them in the fruit and vegetable section of the store. Best regards, Silvia
Why doesn't it say on this great positive eco site that the plastic bags come from China? It would only be transparent, unless of course you want to hide it😏
@Silvia_Migros I fully agree with Bodenseeknusperli. In the spirit of Generation M, it should be a matter of course for the sake of fairness that the source of the product is declared on the page cited.

Sali Bodenseeknusperli, we don't want to hide anything. There are good reasons why the veggie bags come from China. The requirements for transparency, tear resistance and label adhesion were the focus when selecting the veggie bag. We examined the corresponding options in Europe. China was unbeatable in terms of quality, quantity and product know-how. Best regards, Silvia

Quote: "China was unbeatable in terms of quality, quantity and product know-how." Does that just make me wonder? Is there really nothing comparable in the whole of Europe? So 100% dependent on China? Nothing is produced in the EU anymore. Ok, some of it is, but most of it is probably produced outside the EU?

@Traberli There's probably an important addition missing from Silvia's sentence: "...at the maximum price we want to pay".

@Silvia_Migros Thank you for these informative and interesting comments. However, this is ultimately not really an answer to the question that Bodenseeknusperli asked. She wanted to know why the production location China is not mentioned on the corresponding M-Generation page.
I agree with Nachtspalter, I have already read the copy+paste explanations in corresponding threads. Here is the template: https://migipedia.migros.ch/de/forum/einfuehren-einer-unverpacktecke-in-den-groesseren?p=2 Second contribution of the Infoline, third section. But it completely misses my question. Once again, I would like to ask again: why is there no explicit information on the origin, i.e. China, on the page? Because of transparency, I think that would be the right thing to do.
And now put the whole text in Silvia's reply (instead of mine) so that it really reaches her and she MUST read it and pay attention to it...

Sali Nachtspalter, the GenerationM website explains what veggie bags are. The customer is presented with a way of doing without plastic bags. I don't see why the production site has to be mentioned on the website. If the Veggie Bag is reused at least six times, it has a lower environmental impact than a conventional disposable plastic bag.

@Silvia_Migros It's not only here on Migipedia that you can often see that there are a lot of people who don't want products from China and therefore don't want to support Migros' current China craze. Of course, I realize that this is precisely why Migros does not want to disclose the production location on its website, but in the spirit of Generation M it would be more than fair and extremely appropriate.

It would be quiet on Migipedia if all participants who avoid China products would publish their texts on a non-China website 📱 🤷🏻♀️
