Where and when did you find this information? I live in Belgium. There isn't a ban on plastic bags at all. Although some supermarked banned it.
agreed i live in australia and there is not an outright ban on plastic bags here at all! in fact i am on the net researching the issue because i want it to be banned here.
The ONLY solution is -CHANGE OUR HABITS. Alternatives are equally hazardous. I have done study and presented papers to an organization affiliated to the Govt. of Mauritius. The objective was to suggest how to use or modify existing plastic bag machines to make other products so that existing manufacturers do not get jeopardized.
I live in South Korea. There is supposed to be a ban, but retailers rarely ask their customers for cash.
its banned in bangladesh though.Better check it!
You didn't mention Ireland the first country in the world to have banned bags - did you just make all this up? Why publish bullshit?
I hope every country will eventually stop using plastic bags or at least start passing laws that will ban or lessen their dependence from it. bag studios
The problem is not with plastic bags. It is with our habits of littering and unjustified rampant use just because it is cheap. Plastic bags constitute small fraction of total plastic used, and less than a percent of all the waste. Cost of production of plastic items is far too less than those of paper, metal items of same utility. It is high time, we all realize that nature's resources have to be drastically curtailed whether it is plastic or wood or metal or oil or - - -

I am living in Australia at this moment and it doesn't have a ban on plastic bags. Certain stores may not offer them, such as Aldi's-- and they charge extra for the reusable ones. Tasmania is the only place in AUS that has an OB...
This site is full of errors and should be ignored .South Africa does not have a ban on plastic bags and neither do many other countries listed here.

Corporate gifts are unlike promotional items in a lot of ways, especially in the value and price of these items. Promotional items are usually given out to the general public in hopes that the business will be promoted to new, potential clients. Promotional items are more generally low value items like Sippers, Tool Kits, Planners & Organizers, Cushions, Photo Frames, Card Holders, Table Top, Folders, Laptop Bags, Combo Gift Sets CORPORATE GIFTS
this list is bogus. there is no ban in Singapore
