Data on the use of plastic bags:
The data is collected from one of my bibliography, "the result analysis of plastic-bag ban in Rongchang".
According to Plastic Recycling Committee of China National Plastic Association, every day 30 billion plastic bags are consumed. 10 billion of them are used in local markets to fill vegetables and fruits, or meat and fish. The other 20 billion bags are used in other ways.
Each year, in Beijing, the capital of China, there are 23 billion waste plastic bags. The total amount of waste plastic packing amount to 14 megatons, which takes 3 percent of the entire amount of household garbage.
