Here in Norway we now have a new problems after they increased the price of plastic bags to ~$1. Our grocery bags are quite thick compared to what I've seen in UK and US, and was also used for garbage disposal. We also have colored bags for food waste and plastic, all which get sorted at the garbage facility. After the price hike people now buy thin garbage bags, which promptly disintegrate during transport and handling, stopping the expensive garbage sorting machine. Also, some instead started use the free colored bags for regular garbage, ruining the sorting deal. But, we do buy a lot less grocery plastic bags. Just nobody's counting the other types so who knows if it's any better over all.
