PlasticBagLaws.org tracked U.S. bag laws continuously from 2010 through October 2021, when regular updates paused. Updating resumed in 2026. The first and last map editions published in those years are preserved here exactly as issued, each clearly dated — a record of how bag law spread, year by year.
The original map design is by Korin Tangtrakul. For the current picture, see the Bag Law Maps page.
