The number of carrier bags sold since the introduction of the 5p charge has plummeted by 83%!!

This equares to 9 BILLION fewer plastic bags used.....

Or enough bags to wrap round the world more than 100 times!

Money raised from the carrier bag charge has generated 95 million pounds for good causes.

Howev r small retailers, franchises and paper bags however are still unaffected which means companies like

McDonalds or Subway whose packaging is, sadly, often littered around are not caught out.
