Under the measure to take effect in 2026, shoppers will still be able to purchase bags made of thicker plastic that purportedly makes them reusable and recyclable
There are other reusable bag options that are not plastic. I’m also strongly opposed to the reusable bag options which supermarkets offer because most are platic but you can get plenty of nice cotton or hessian material type bags around.
I’m a bag fan of banning single use plastic but it should definitely go to the extent of even reusable plastic because its been demonstrated that reusable plastic options aren’t that much more sustainable.
