Plastic Shopping Bag Paid Use Draft Released

The draft "Measures for the Administration of the Paid Use of Plastic Shopping Bags in Commodity Retail Venues," issued by the Ministry of Commerce, has been opened for public comments starting from June 7th. According to the proposed regulations, retail stores are required to start charging consumers for plastic shopping bags beginning on June 1st. Under the draft measures, "commodity retail establishments" include supermarkets, department stores, and markets that offer goods directly to consumers. The term "plastic shopping bags" refers to those provided by retailers for carrying purchased items. However, the regulation explicitly excludes pre-packaged plastic bags used for bulk foods, cooked dishes, or noodles, which are intended for hygiene and food safety purposes. The draft also states that retail outlets must clearly label the prices of plastic shopping bags. While retailers may set their own pricing, they are not allowed to sell these bags below cost or use any discounts or promotional methods that deviate from the stated price. Additionally, it is prohibited to give out plastic shopping bags for free or through disguised means. The goal of this policy is to encourage responsible usage and reduce environmental impact by promoting the reuse of shopping bags. This initiative reflects a growing awareness of the need to address plastic waste, especially in commercial settings where single-use plastics are commonly used. By implementing a fee-based system, the government aims to raise consumer awareness and foster more sustainable shopping habits. The public is now invited to provide feedback on the draft, which will help shape the final version of the policy before its official implementation.
