Mexico City's ban on single-use plastic bags prohibits the sale or distribution of the bags in an effort to protect the environment

An employee helps a man to arrange groceries in a bag at a supermarket which no longer provides plastic bags for customers to carry products, in Mexico City, Mexico January 2, 2020.

"We have to take plastic out of circulation," said Andree Lilian Guigue, the official overseeing the ban in Mexico City, one of the world's biggest metropolises. "Plastic and other waste products that damage the planet end up in the ravines, woods and public spaces of the city - and nobody cleans it up."

Firms including Walmart's Mexico unit, breadmaker Bimbo and conglomerate Femsa agreed to offer free reusable bags this month and explore more ways to reduce plastic packaging.
