THE number of carriers bags issued to shoppers in Scotland has crashed since the introduction of the 5p levy a year ago.
Zero Waste Scotland said figures from the major supermarkets alone show a reduction of 80% or 650m bags. C-stores and other shops will add to the total. Around £7m is thought to have been raised for good causes.
