Exploring the Business and Behavioral Effects of Ban on Plastic Bags 

Plastic bags were an everyday use item until the environmentalist pointed out the hazardous 
effects that they had on marine and human life, not to mention the long lasting effects on the 
environment. Pakistan also imposed a ban on the use of plastic bags in its capital city on 14th August 
2019. In this study, we will focus on the business and behavioral effects of the ban on plastic bags 
have made in the lives of the people living in the capital whether they are consumers or retailers. 
Due to the dearth of literature regarding the ban on plastic bags as the idea has just sprouted, we 
feel the need to investigate the variables identified in the previous literature and check whether 
they apply in Pakistan or not. Our study will be supported by the primary data, which will be 
gathered from the retailers and consumers of Islamabad.
