> Who keeps the proceeds from the sale of reusable grocery bags and recycled paper bags?
The stores that sell the bags keep the money and must use it to cover the costs of providing the bags, complying with the bag ban, or encouraging the use of reusable grocery bags through educational materials or an educational campaign.
I feel like this isn't quite "companies get more profit". It basically just eliminated the old cost but didn't become a revenue stream.
Certainly it avoided the alternative where we switched to paper bags that companies paid for.
