MAJOR retailers have launched a ban campaign ahead of a new law that will force shoppers to change their habits or face additional charges.

The move is being backed by major retailers like Target, CVS and Kroger before the changes come in under law in a few months.

The campaign is being launched in more than 1,000 Southern California locations this week to encourage customers to stop using disposable plastic shopping bags. 

It comes ahead of a new law that will be effective from January 1, 2026 banning plastic shopping bags at checkouts throughout California.

But some customers may not be too thrilled by the change that will come with a new price tag.

Shoppers who do not bring re-usable bags will only have the choice of paper bags which will come at a fee.

From January onwards, retailers will have to charge at least $0.10 per paper or reusable bag.

The only exceptions to this rule are bags for prescriptions, unwrapped food, and to protect items from damage.

Also, those on SNAP benefits will be exempt from the additional fees.

The “Break Up With Single-Use Bags” campaign is the largest of its kind in the Sunshine State.

It is being launched by the Center for the Circular Economy at Closed Loop Partners.

From this week, shoppers can expect to see signs throughout stores alerting them to the upcoming change, urging them to ditch bad bag habits now.

The campaign is also going digital through social media, television and audio streaming platforms.

“This campaign reflects a growing movement of retailers and communities working together, guided by data and a shared vision, to shift the retail experience toward one that eliminates waste altogether by reducing our reliance on disposable bags,” Kate Daly, managing partner at Closed Loop Partners and head of the Center for the Circular Economy, said in a statement.

Big name retailers have also voiced their support.

“This latest initiative aims to collaboratively address waste in our neighborhoods, stores and everyday decisions, creating a positive impact for individuals and the planet,” said Jenny McColloch, CVS Health vice president of sustainability and community impact.

The move follows a wider trend.

According to research by the World Economic Forum, more than 500 municipalities in 28 states had plastic bag legislation in effect as of 2021.

And the following states have single-use plastic bags bans:

• Colorado
• Connecticut
• Delaware
• Hawaii
• Maine
• New Jersey
• New York
• Oregon
• Rhode Island
• Vermont
• Washington

It is estimated that such bans “eliminate almost 300 single-use plastic bags per person per year, on average,” analysis by Environment America and the U.S. PIRG Education Fund said.

And states that already have these bans in action say they are effective.

“The bottom line is that plastic bag bans work,” Faran Savitz, a zero-waste advocate with the PennEnvironment Research & Policy Center, said.

“Millions of Pennsylvanians have realized that it’s easy to live without plastic bags and get used to bringing a bag from home or skipping a bag when they can.”

“That means less waste and less litter. For our children to inherit a less polluted Earth, that’s exactly what we need,” Savitz said.

Bans in five states and cities that cover more than 12 million people combined including Santa Barbara have reduced single-use plastic bag consumption by about 6 billion bags per year, according to Environment America.

The incident reportedly stemmed from a domestic dispute.
