Been a law in the Republic of Ireland for some years.
All supermarkets there just offered paper bags for free last time I was over.
If Tesco are going to charge 5p a bag I bloody hope they are going to improve the quality, current bags not worth 5p.

That's the whole idea though, surely? It's really not to raise money, it's to encourage us to be more sensible with "throwaway" plastic & the like. If Tesco were to offer better bags, that would be an increased cost to them. |

Lidl occasionally. I'm off there tonight as it happens. I have a £5 off a £40 spend, exciting times, I'll end up with a fridge and freezer full for that. Will be paying per bag, forgot to grab before I left home earlier but at least their bags are better quality. |

What are they going to do on those bloody self service tills? Is it going to be a honesty system?
Steal bags all week and sell back to Ocado on weekends. I could retire if I could afford Ocado shopping.

Standard here to charge for bags and more than 5p as well!
Small (but decent quality, think M&S quality) bag is 5KČ and the larger one 6KČ. That works out about 14 and 16p per bag.
Almost everyone brings a bag with which to take their shopping. People who buy bags are by and large people who weren't aware they were going food shopping when they left the house.

M&S have an honesty system on their self checkout tills. |

I think it's a great idea. Anything that reduces the amount of stuff (especially plastic) that we throw away is fine by me.
I wouldn't care if they were 50p each. You could either buy one of get a free paper one.
I think there should be a returnable deposit on all regularly discarded products.
Mrs Red and I were in Berlin (Fantastic city btw) a couple of years ago and were surprised to see people putting their bottles and cans next to the litter bins. Then we noticed that other people (Often the homeless) come and collect them during the night. We even saw them queuing up outside a yard with big bags on their shoulders, waiting to get weighed in.
Berlin is the cleanest city I have ever seen.

Without Googling does anyone want to guess how many are used in the UK per year?
It was a question on an IOSH course I did a few months back, matching quantities to questions and I think everyone in the room got this wrong.

Strangely the office eco warrior told me just today it is 8 Billion - no idea if this is true or not, seems a very large number. |

It's not just the supermarkets that will be doing this.
I have no issue paying the 5p if I need a bag. I was in Greggs today and was warned as of next week I will have to pay for a bag.
