This was announced by Senior Minister of State in the Ministry for Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) Amy Khor on Apr. 10, 2021 during the Response Session for Citizens' Workgroup on Reducing Excessive Consumption of Disposables. The session was broadcasted live on Facebook. Charging for disposable bags at supermarkets Khor said the ministry will look into the mode of charging, whether it will be per bag or per transaction, with the quantum possibly ranging between S$0.05 and S$0.10 per bag.

Within a year of the pilot, they managed to reduce 15.6 million disposable carrier bags.
