There has been a marked increase in consumption of the reusable ‘green’ polypropylene bag since 2002. This has coincided with the introduction of charges for plastic bags. Research by Hyder shows that reusable bags were involved in 13% of transactions in stores that did not charge for single-use plastic bags. A further 15% of these transactions were bag free.
Within stores that charged for provision of single-use plastic bags, 33% of transactions involved a reusable carry bag and 40% of transactions were bag-free.
There is clearly a demand for plastic bag alternatives.
