💨 Abstract

The cost of carrier bags varies widely among retailers, from 15p to £1, with reusable bags often more expensive. Since 2021, retailers must charge 10p per single-use bag to reduce waste. Major supermarkets like Co-op and Aldi still sell single-use bags for 10p, while others offer reusable bags at different prices. Some retailers face accusations of profiteering due to the high cost of long-life bags.
