The article discusses the general principles of the imposed plastic bags issue and the manner in which the attempts are made to resolve it - high taxes or bans. Special attention has been paid to the occurrence of plastic bag bans and the imposition of high taxes on plastic bags all around the world. An overview of the current situation in the world is presented at the end of the article series. In this article, we have given an overview of the situation in Europe, North America and the Balkan region. The possible conclusion is that bans or high taxes are the result of unregulated waste management systems in respective countries or the unreasonably environmentally inferior solutions that are being imposed in order to protect specific interests.
