I am talking about Austria. Its mostly reusable ones made of fabric, or really sturdy plastic/wofen plastic. If you need a oneway one it’s paper. We anyway had to pay for the shoppingbags as long as I can remember.

Thanks for the answer. I was really surprised how little people complained when the shop ones stopped existing. Seems like induced demand. Back then I kept a few, because they are so handy. Well, never used one.

Sorry, fixed it.

Are they talking about something like this

Or something like this

The first one has been forbitten in my country for ~10years and nobody seems to miss them. The second one is used, rarely, for takeout and mostly replaced with paper bags.

I am pretty sure the EU will soon reach the final phase of the electricity transition. Soon it will be more about balancing the grid with storage and upgrading the electricity network and no longer about build out rates of solar and Wind.
