A plastic bag ban or charge is a law that restricts the use of lightweight plastic bags at retail establishments.

Problems associated with plastic bags include use of non-renewable resources, difficulties during disposal, and environmental impacts. Concurrently with the reduction in lightweight plastic bags, shops have introduced reusable shopping bags.
