Quoting Firstpost and happydays365, World Plastic Bag Free Day was started in 2008 by ZWE (Zero Waste Europe) member, Rezero. A year later, ZWE launched International Plastic Bag Free Day in the European Union.
The ZWE campaign is growing over the years. ZWE was able to encourage several countries to take steps to reduce their use of single-use plastics. Due to this successful campaign, July 3rd is designated as World Plastic Bag Free Day.
