Carrier Plastic bag legislation by geography

The current carrier plastic bag phase out legislation by geography

A growing number of countries around the world have been phasing out of lightweight plastic bags. Single -use plastic shopping bags, commonly made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic, have traditionally been given free to customers by stores when purchasing goods—a popular method considered a strong, cheap, and hygienic way of transporting items.

Problems associated with plastic bags include use of non renewable resources (such as crude oil, gas and coal), disposal, and environmental impacts.

Plastic bags cause many minor and major ecological and environmental issues. The most general issue with plastic bags is the amount of waste produced. Many plastic bags end up on streets and subsequently pollute major water sources, rivers, and streams.

Even when disposed of properly, they take many years to decompose and break down, generating large amounts of garbage over long periods of time. If not disposed of properly the bags can pollute waterways, clog sewers and have been found in oceans affecting the habitat of animals and marine creatures.
