No more free plastic bags? Well, only if shopping in retailers with MORE than 250 employees
Starting from the 5th October, retailers with more than 250 employees in the UK have to charge at least 5p for a bag, according to the new law. It is a clever move by the UK government. This is environmentally friendly. People start to carry their own recyclable bags and the retailers provide bags with better quality. More importantly, this is small business friendly. The law means the retailers with fewer than 250 employees can offer free bags. 5p is not a lot, but still something that people want to avoid on, especially when people experienced free bagging in the past. Within similar distance and with similar quality, people may start to prefer small retailers than the larger ones. Therefore, this act will help small retailers to generate more incomes.
