Italy banned the use of non-biodegradable plastic bags in 2011, but the figures indicate that the ban was not fully respected in the following years. Although the volume of plastic bags has decreased considerably over the past decade, 22,000 tons of plastic bags non-compliant with the Italian legislation were still used in the country in 2022. In the same period of time, the usage of biodegradable bags doubled.
