Plastic bag ban
Plastic bags can also be recycled. The problem with recycling is that as of 2023,   only 5% of plastic bags make it to recycling facilities. Even when bags are brought to recycling facilities, they often fly out of these bins or recycling trucks and end up as litter on the streets. Another issue with recycling is that different bags are made from different yet aesthetically similar types of plastics.  Recycling facilities can often only recycle one kind of bag. Recycling different types will make recycling more expensive.
