1. American Wal-Mart, buying a basket of things can fill you with more than a dozen plastic bags, because they need to be packed separately according to the type of goods, all are free, but the quality is generally not very good, basically only use it once and it will break, and it cannot be used twice. Use.
2. The quality of bags in Chinese supermarkets is good, and most supermarkets charge for plastic bags.
3. In Brisbane, there are two ways to go to the supermarket to buy things: self-checkout and salesperson checkout.
Self-checkout:
There is a stack of plastic bags next to each machine. If you want to use a few to hold things, you can use a few and nobody will care about you.
Salesperson checkout:
According to my observation every time I go to the supermarket, basically the food and daily necessities will be packed separately for you, and I don’t care how many bags are used. Sometimes a 2L bottle of milk is packed in a bag, and one or two boxes of frozen meat are packed in a bag, and then these are put together in a bag, which will help you all separate and pack them.
It mainly depends on the differences between the salespersons, but in general, they will be sorted and packed, and the number of bags used is very random, and they will not be deducted and searched and hard-packed in a bag.
4. United Kingdom. In supermarkets such as tesco, plastic bags are generally solid plastic shopping bags, which can be recycled and cost about five dollars apiece, or £10p.
5. In France, most supermarkets charge a fee for shopping with plastic bags. Most people use shopping bags, but there are free small plastic bags in the area where you buy fruits and vegetables. Generally, garbage bags are bought specifically for use.
6. In Japan in the past few years, it was forced not to give free bags at that time.
Japan is a country where customers are supreme. They don’t dare to say no to customers, and they don’t dare to make customers feel "lost" and "forced". So in order to cultivate the habit, big supermarkets don’t charge money for bags, but if they don’t want bags, check out this time. It can be 3 to 5 yen cheaper.
6. Northeastern United States, New Jersey/New York
Plastic bags in supermarkets, restaurants, takeaways, grocery stores, department stores, etc., where plastic bags are needed, are free of money. Most supermarkets provide cardboard bags as well as plastic bags. I have seen a few of them for free. In addition, Americans use plastic bags very generously. When supermarket cashiers help to tidy up, they will put several bags together and put a bag of things together for fear of being scratched and scattered. In addition, most of the plastic bags are recyclable, with a recyclable sign on the bottom, and please recycle, or recyclable, reusable. When you take out the trash at home, you need to collect it together and throw it away with the recycle trash. Some apartments in the city are cleaned by staff, but if you live in a rural or suburban area, you can only collect the recycle garbage on the day you collect it, pack it, and put it on the street in front of your house to wait for the garbage truck to clean it. If most of the plastic bags can be reused and recycled, the impact on the environment will be smaller than the large-scale use of cloth bags.
7. In Germany, supermarkets generally do not give or sell plastic bags. They sell environmentally friendly bags, and occasionally some sell plastic bags (thick and strong). There are more paper bags free of charge for shopping in big stores.
8. Netherlands
Very common supermarkets such as Albert Heijn, Jumbo, etc. do not have disposable plastic bags. I use Albert Heijn as an example of environmentally-friendly shopping bags (usually only go to AH). The size of plastic is about 40 to 90 Cents. It is in the form of a woven bag. The shopping bag is Euro1.5, and the woven bag can generally be used for a long time. And other places like Action provide free disposable plastic bags, and Chinese supermarkets also. There are also places that provide shopping paper bags, usually 20cents. Stationery stores like Bruna have paper bags similar to Muji, free of charge.
9. Canada.
The supermarket bags here are all paid for, so it’s best to carry the eco-friendly bags with you, and there are baskets in the car. For grocery shopping, there are still thin free bags similar to those in China. For clothes and electrical appliances, bags are provided free of charge.
10. There is only one supermarket in New Zealand that does not give plastic bags, but the store will provide free cartons and cartons, which are usually left over from the store. As private cars in New Zealand are more popular, the solution of loading goods in cartons on the car is no problem. If it is walking or cycling, then the cartons solution is useless.
