When voters in California passed Prop 67 and ratified SB270, single-use plastic bags were prohibited throughout the entire state. Bag bans are nothing new in California; before the election 150 cities, counties and municipalities in the Golden State had bans in place. SB270 extends a disposable plastic bag ban to areas not already impacted by an existing ban; this measure also levies a 10-cent fee on paper bags. Many California shoppers have already established the habit of bringing their own reusable grocery bags to the store, and the California Grocers Association is confident the rest of the state’s residents will quickly get on board with the California bag ban.

These thin-film bags are lightweight and make it so easy to carry groceries and other goods but they are no friend to the environment, wildlife or our food-chain.

For these reasons laws regulating disposable plastic bags, either through bans or fees, are on the rise. When it comes to combating the negative impacts and effective methods to reduce consumer use of single-use plastic bags, a new study shows that bag bans and fees are the answer.
