I hear that plastic bags are soon to be banned? How will that affect you? I’ve already thought about rubbish bags and bin liners and I don’t know what the alternative will be yet. If they replace plastic rubber bags with those thick paper ones what is to stop people hiding a plastic bag inside of it? How will it be policed? Will the border customs staff be seizing imported plastic bags at the border?
Aussie here: if it turns out anything like ours, look forward to shitty cardboard/paper bags at the supermarkets that cost 15c, and increase in price every 12 months. It’s a delicious little money maker for them.
Meanwhile, the Chinese grocer just got all their plastic bags with the words “reusable bag” printed on them instead.
We’ve had plastic supermarket bags phased out for quite some time now. As far as I can tell, the only plastic bags being phased out on 1 July are plastic produce bags at supermarkets. We just take reusable ones, not the shitty plastic reusable ones but the canvas-ish ones that let you put 12L of milk in them without an issue.
