Nanaimo plastic checkout bag ban starts July 1

VICTORIA Single-use plastic bags will no longer be offered in Nanaimo stores starting Thursday. The municipality is encouraging shoppers to bring their own reusable bags moving forward. Stores can offer paper bags that are made of at least 40 per cent post-consumer recycled content for a fee of 15 cents – and later 25 cents starting Jan. 1, 2022. Local businesses can also sell reusable bags at checkout for $1 – then later $2 starting Jan. 1, 2022. The city notes that reusable bags must be washable and sturdy enough to be used at least 100 times. To truly benefit the environment and make reusable bags a better option than the single-use plastic bags they are replacing, reusable bags need to be looked after and reused as many times as possible, said the city in a release Wednesday.
