Starting Tuesday, plastic bags will be banned at businesses in Evanston.
There will also be a 10-cent tax on all bag types at large, non-restaurant, chain retail stores exceeding 10,000 square feet in that city. Consumers can avoid the tax by bringing their own bag or declining a store bag.
Going forward, 40-percent of all paper bags have to be made of recycled material. Pre-checkout bags can be made of compostable plastic or 40 percent recycled paper.
The effort is part of the city's Climate Action and Resilience Plan , which aims to eliminate petroleum-based, single-use products.
