The number of nylon bags sold in England has dropped by eighty-six percent since 2015

The number of nylon bags sold in the seven largest supermarket chain stores has fallen by eighty percent since 2015 in England, but still over one billion a year.

England was the last in the United Kingdom, where the measure was introduced that one has to pay for nylon bags: five pennies for each. In the stores of Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons, Marks & Spencer, Co-op and Waitrose 1.04 billion nylon bags were sold in the financial year ended in April. (MTI, Pietsch Judit)
