How will the July 1st plastic bag ban affect you? (lemmy.nz)

I hear that plastic bags are soon to be banned? How will that affect you? I've already thought about rubbish bags and bin liners and I don't know what the alternative will be yet. If they replace plastic rubber bags with those thick paper ones what is to stop people hiding a plastic bag inside of it? How will it be policed? Will the border customs staff be seizing imported plastic bags at the border?

We dont use bun liners either. The rubnish bin is easy to wash if needed, but that is rare since all the messy stuff goes out to the compost or into waste disposer.
