Supermarket chain Aldi is set to introduce paper and compostable bags – but the new carriers will set consumers back 19p each.

From July the cut price stores will be offering paper bags in half their shops, with the rest offering compostable ones.

The German chain has implemented a two month-trial, and at the end of the test the most popular option amongst savvy shoppers will be rolled out across its 830 branches.

Despite the push to be more environmentally friendly, the store will continue to offer 9p plastic bags.
