France banned free/cheap plastic bags for retail years ago. The sky did not fall in. Options are (a) purchase large expensive bag at point of sale (b) bring your own. Some stores give out free paper bags but not the supermarkets. |

The Irish Republic has been charging for plastic bags for many years. But they do leave out empty cardboard boxes for customers’ use. |

A lot of shops stopped giving away cardboard boxes because they get paid for sending the cardboard to be recycled. ;-) |

I think I saw somewhere that bags used for on line shopping will be charged for, it might have said unless returned to the driver but I am not sure. |

Our self-service tills here in Wales have buttons to press to say if you need a bag or not and whether you are using your own bag. I think it's a really good thing and has cut down the use of plastic bags drastically. You get into the habit of always taking a bag with you. I keep one in the car and one in a handbag for any unexpected purchases. The hessian bags supermarkets sell are great and last a long time. Online shopping is delivered in crates. |
