It may come as a surprise, but everything in a store from heat to plastic bags has a cost and the cost is passed on to the shoppers. Stores such as Walmart is simply hiding the charge for bags and potentially making a profit on them. Stores that charge for bags are making the cost more obvious and allowing the customer to opt out (saving money) by using re-usable bags or carrying the unwrapped package out of the store.
Walmart plastic bags are typically made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a type of plastic that is lightweight, durable, and commonly used in packaging materials. These bags are recyclable and can be identified by the "2" recycling symbol on the bottom.
It is difficult to determine which shop sells the most plastic bags as data on sales of plastic bags by individual shops is typically not publicly available. However, larger retail chains and supermarkets are known to sell large quantities of plastic bags due to the high volume of customers they serve.
Around 1.5 billion single-use plastic bags were issued in the UK in 2019, before the implementation of a 5p charge per bag. This number has significantly decreased since then due to the charge and increased awareness about the environmental impact of plastic bags.
Plastic mailing bags can be found at stores like Staples or Office Max. You can also locate them at stores like WalMart or Target. You might also find them in some stationary stores.
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. They make their profit by selling things, not by giving things away. 2. Reusable bags are more environmentally friendly, in that they create less waste. 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.
