After banning plastic shopping bags at the start of this year, Delaware lawmakers have pledged to create more restrictions after stores have started to use thicker plastic bags instead of paper or cloth bags as intended.
In 2019, lawmakers put a ban on plastic shopping bags found at checkouts. The measure went into Jan. 1 of this year. It was meant to encourage larger stores and shoppers to switch to reusable bags in order to curb environmental waste.
While stores appear to have complied, many have also found what critics call a loophole in the law by simply replacing the thin plastic bags with thicker ones.
