Reusable Bag Program at Ray’s Food Place Links to Environmental Causes

BROOKINGS, Ore. — Ray’s Food Place, one of the banners operated by C&K Market here, in partnership with EcoUnit, Los Altos, Calif., and Catalina Marketing, have introduced an environmental rewards program to promote the use of reusable bags at Ray’s Food Place stores.

The program rewards shoppers with one EcoUnit credit for each reusable bag used at participating stores.

“Shoppers can collect EcoUnit credits and redeem them for their choice of local environmental causes, including tree planting and river conservation,” explained Robin Kovach, director of sustainability and environmental impact for C&K Market, in a statement.

Ray’s Food Place uses POS printers from Catalina Marketing, St. Petersburg, Fla., to print a unique code for each shopper with a reusable bag. The shopper then enters the code at gorays.com to register their credits.
