I support TS's call that supermarkets should actively support recycling, and I commend his efforts to make the point.

But I guess the only way that this could be initiated, is unfortunately through the government, and that is to impose a tax on the use of each proprietary plastic bag.

Sounds cruel, but it has been done in European countries where the salesperson asks if you require the supermarket bag, for a fee.

The way the hypermarkets in Malaysia wantonly waste bags is utterly irresponsible.
