Plastic shopping bags are consumables in daily life, and China consumes a large number of plastic shopping bags every year. While providing convenience to consumers, plastic shopping bags also cause serious waste of energy resources and environmental pollution due to excessive use and inadequate recycling. In particular, ultra-thin plastic shopping bags are prone to damage and are mostly discarded randomly, becoming the main source of "white pollution".

Since June 1, 2008, a paid-use system for plastic shopping bags has been implemented in all supermarkets, malls, farmers' markets and other retail outlets, and plastic shopping bags shall not be provided for free.
