Recycling plastic bags
How Australia cut plastic bag circulation by 80%
Plastic bag bans have been at the forefront of a movement against single-use plastic because they are - more often than not - not easily recycled.
Shoprite said every time a customer reuses its new 100% recycled and recyclable plastic bag, at Shoprite and Checkers stores, they will get 50 cents off their grocery purchase.
According to a UN report, only 9 percent of the 9 billion tonnes of plastic the world has ever produced has been recycled.
