“Some foreign supermarkets even offer incentives for customers who return trolleys, so it’s a win-win situation in those countries.”
CORROBORATED
One web search result specifically mentions Japan requiring a coin deposit for pushcarts as an incentive for return, which supports the claim that foreign supermarkets use incentives for trolley returns. While other results discuss general incentives, the Japanese example provides direct support for the mechanism described.

“‘Bring your own bag for a gift of Rs 6 refund,’ scheme in Keels has paid dividends in reducing polythene bags usage drastically.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim states the 'Bring your own bag for a gift of Rs 6 refund' scheme significantly reduced usage. Evidence shows Keells launched a 'Bring your own Bag' concept (web_search), and that customers were awarded loyalty points (Rs. 4 equivalent) for re-using bags (web_search). However, none of the provided sources quantify the *reduction* in usage or confirm the specific 'Rs 6 refund' incentive mentioned in the claim. The evidence is specific to Keells' actions but does not confirm the claimed outcome or the exact refund amount.
