Trial of a Government and Industry Charge on Plastic Bags - Oct 2008

The Australian National Retailers Association (ANRA) in partnership with the Victorian Government wanted to conduct a trial project involving major supermarkets placing a voluntary charge on plastic bags at selected sites around Victoria.  KPMG worked with ANRA to form five hypotheses that were tested during the trial using quantitative and qualitative data.

This is a report on the trial which ran for a four-week period: from 18 August 2008 to 14 September 2008.
