There are several different reasons why shops charge for plastic bags. 1. It does cost shops something to buy the plastic bags that they give to their customers.

Giving away plastic bags encourages people to use them; charging for plastic bags encourages people to use reusable bags instead. 3. Some local jurisdictions require that plastic bags must cost money, because local government wishes to be environmentally active.
