A new regulation made by Indonesia government, in term to minimize plastic, is too paid for plastic bags in supermarket. Before this rule implementation, plastic bag in supermarket in Indonesia is all free. No matter how many plastic bags given to you by them, you don?t have to pay for it.

Started from February 21st, the regulation is implementation in some cities in Indonesia such as Jakarta, Surabaya, and Balikpapan. The minimal price of plastic bag is Rp200,00 or about $0,014. It was really cheap, considering the purpose of the regulation. Many of Indonesia people also think it was really cheap and want the government to raise the price. A good response from people to starts implementation in other cities to.

On the other side, many of customers of supermarket are having no problem to pay for plastic bags. The cheap price is one of the causes. But there are also some buyers who also choose to put in their purchases in their own bag because only shopping in small amount. In supermarket, the cashier also ask the customer whatever they want to use plastic bag or their own shopping bag.
