Woolworths introduces green store, biodegradable mannequins

South African retailer Woolworths has launched its first RE: brand standalone store in the Menlyn shopping centre, in Pretoria, introducing a specialised mannequin produced from natural plant fibres and bioresin – a first for the South African retail environment. The retailer said the mannequins were the result of over three years of research and development and the materials were sourced from an Asian indigenous sustainable source.
