You're in luck. Many European countries and Canada have taxed plastic bags for a few years, so you can explore the results those experiments.
For example, Montreal (and many other canadian cities) started taxing plastic bags in 2018. Then bags under 50 microns we're banned. The larger ones are easier to cleanup and recycle. Around 90% of people carry their reusable bags. I always have a tiny one in my backpack, my partner in her purse, and we keep large ones in the car trunk. The bags are usually made of recycled material.
