Compulsory charges for plastic carrier bags will be introduced in Wales before May 2011, it has been announced.
The charge for single-use bags has not yet been decided, but it is expected to be between 5p and 15p.
Wales will become the first nation in the UK to introduce charging for one-trip carrier bags to curb their use.
Environment Minister Jane Davidson said she would seek voluntary agreements with large retailers to direct the proceeds to environmental causes.
The charge will be introduced before the next assembly election.
An estimated 480m carrier bags are used in Wales each year and it takes 500 to 1,000 years for them to degrade
