THE environmental levy on plastic shopping bags has been increased from 15c to 22c per bag with effect from today. The levy came into effect on 4 March 2002 and had an immediate effect on consumer behaviour with per-capita plastic bag use decreasing overnight from an estimated 328 bags to just 21. However Central Statistics Office research found that this figure rose to 30 in 2006 so it was decided to increase the levy to the maximum of 22 cent allowable under the existing legislation.
