Supermarkets already ban take-home bags but now thin bags used for vegetables will be outlawed too.
New Zealand has become the world's first country to expand its ban on plastic bags in supermarkets to thin bags, which are typically used to hold fruits or vegetables.
Most shoppers already bring their own bags to stores after take-home plastic bags were banned in 2019."New Zealand produces too much waste, too much plastic waste," Associate Environment Minister Rachel Brooking said. Critics have raised concerns that shoppers may just place groceries in disposable paper bags, which are still available in supermarkets.
