Carrier bag charges begin in England on 5 October 2015 as part of the policy to reduce waste.
If you’re a large retailer the minimum price is 5p for most single-use plastic carrier bags. If you’re a small or medium-sized business you don’t have to charge, but you’re free to do so voluntarily.
If you’re already charging 5p or more for bags you don’t need to charge an extra 5p.
It’s worth thinking ahead in this situation, by ordering your alternative to plastic bags will mean you could avoid the tax.
We have jute, juco and cotton bags that will suit your needs, and if they don’t we can offer you a bespoke bag service where you design your own.
