About Plastic bag tax/levy
Many countries have implemented (or are planning to) plastic bag taxes to reduce plastic bag waste. There was a significant reduction in plastic bag waste at first, but research shows a "rebound effect" after several years, and the amount of plastic bag waste returns to previous levels. Shops also made use of loopholes in the scheme, distributing handle-free plastic bags to customers for convenience. A plastic bag levy was introduced in Hong Kong in 2009, but it's not much effective today. The public dumped 4.4 billion plastic bags - only a fraction less than before the levy was imposed.
