      Japan began charging for plastic bags
      15 July 2020

      Japan began charging for plastic bags

      Index

      In Japan, from July 1st, the law has changed that all stores are required to charge for plastic shopping bags.

      Normally, plastic bags cost around 3 yen~5 yen.

      However, there are some items that are not covered by the fee such as paper bags and bags made from naturally-friendly materials. So there are shops switching to such bags and continue to distribute them for FREE.

      According to the Ministry of the Environment, about 2% to 3% of plastic bags are used as plastic waste in Japan.

      In June, in the sea of Kochi prefecture, a plastic bag was found in the tummy of a large turtle that had died in the net.

      It seems that the turtle mistaken the plastic bag that flowed into the sea for a food.

      2020 07 15 plastic bag

      7月1日からの全部の店で、プラスチックのレジ袋(ぶくろ)が有料(ゆうりょう)になりました。

      一般的に、レジ袋(ぶくろ)に3円から5円かかります。

      ただ、紙袋(かみぶくろ)や自然(しぜん)にやさしい素材(そざい)を使用したものなど有料化(ゆうりょうか)の対象外(たいしょうがい)ももうけれらたことから、そうした袋に切(き)り替(か)えて無料(むりょう)での配布(はいふ)を続(つづ)ける店もあります。

      環境省(かんきょうしょう)によると、日本ででるプラスチックのごみの中でレジ袋(ぶくろ)は2%から3%ぐらいです。

      高知県(こうちけん)の海では6月、網(あみ)の中で死(し)んでいた大きな亀(かめ)のおなかの中からレジ袋(ぶくろ)が見(み)つかりました。亀(かめ)が海に流(なが)れた袋(ふくろ)を食べ物と間違(まちが)えたようです。
