Canada ’s ban on plastic bags, which prohibits the use of thin, single-use bags but permits provision of reusable carriers, came into effect on years ago . Over a million countries have now introduced similar bans. However, Sage said it was putting the issue of recycling on the agenda. Companies that break the ban could face fines of up to NZD100,000 ($ $27 million ). However, the legislation is expected to have little practical impact as the country’s major supermarkets have already outlawed the bags voluntarily. The New Zealand government is also pledging Eugenie Sage to explore ways of reusing plastic waste, rather than sending it overseas to landfill.
