Welsh government plans to ban all single-use plastic bags
The Welsh Government has introduced legislation to ban all single-use plastic bags, currently sold for around 5p from most supermarkets and convenience stores.

Wales was the first UK nation to implement a single-use plastic bag charge at 5p per bag
The government (Senedd) has published a draft bill which has been created with the intention of banning or restricting plastic bags, as well as some of the other most commonly littered single-use plastic products.
If passed, The Environmental Protection (Single-use Plastic Products) (Wales) Bill will prohibit the sale of a range of single-use plastics, including cups, cutlery, drink-stirrers, takeaway food containers, straws, carrier bags, wet wipes and cotton buds.
The draft bill will make it an offence for a retailer to supply a consumer in Wales with any of the single-use plastic products listed. The Senedd’s Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee has invited businesses to comment on the draft bill with a 5 September deadline.
Wales was the first UK nation to implement a single-use plastic bag charge at 5p per bag, with Scotland and England introducing their own plastic bag charges later.
