5. First To Ban Plastic Bags
Ikea, Canada is the first retailer in the world to ban the use of plastic bags in 2009. Instead Ikea came up with a reusable bag called the Frakta Shopping Bag which even though made out of plastic can be used a lifetime and can be bought for $1 each. Customers will just bring their Frakta Shopping Bags each time they come to shop at Ikea.
