Overall, paper bags make up a very small proportion of total carrier bag numbers, the vast majority of which are single-use plastic bags.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Plastic carrier bags take the longest to degrade in the natural environment, therefore decomposition in the marine environment will be one of the considerations when setting a standard for a biodegradable plastic bag exempt from the charge.</p><p> </p>
