Plastic Bag Bans

Plastic Bag Ban is a regulatory policy instrument within environmental governance that prohibits the distribution or use of single-use plastic carryout bags by retailers, distinguishing itself from other waste reduction strategies through its legally enforceable, supply-side restriction aimed at curbing plastic pollution and promoting sustainable consumption.
