The rate charged per bag increased from 5p to 25p per bag in 2022 and is now charged on all bags costing up to £5 regardless of what material they are made of.
Retailers set the price of the bags, and are obliged to charge for them when selling goods including groceries and clothing, but not under other circumstances, for instance when they are selling takeaway food.
Just over a third of the bags dispensed in 2023-24 were lower rate ones costing 25p.
Most (64%) were higher rate bags.
The number of bags used varies throughout the year, with most being used during October to December, coinciding with the peak Christmas shopping period.
