Multi-Product | Some bag regulations are part of a more comprehensive waste prevention and management strategy that includes regulating or incentivizing reduction of other single-use disposable products or materials as well.

Extent of Ban | In addition to simply prohibiting the sale and use of plastic bags, regulations can include the manufacture, import and export as well. Consider casting as wide a net as possible.

If this is the first policy of this sort being proposed, it may be easier to enact regulations addressing one product at a time. However, if the goal is to reduce plastic pollution and disposability to the greatest extent possible, a more comprehensive set of zero waste regulations and restrictions is required.
