Question

What is a shopping bag levy?

Answer 1

Some consider plastic shopping bags a detriment to the environment since many are made from non-renewable petrochemicals and do not readily biodegrade in a sanitary landfill.

Some countries, such as Ireland, have introduced a levy (€0.15 tax) on every plastic shopping bag. This led to a 90% reduction in use of plastic bags and increased use of reusable bags in Ireland.
