Suginami was the first municipality in Japan to charge for plastic shopping bags — in 2002, 11 years before the national law. The ward maintains Japan's longest continuous data set on plastic bag reduction and now records 87% bag refusal at checkout. This long record is unique information gain for researchers studying plastic policy.
