The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the plastic bag fee (that was implemented in Turkey recently) on the consumer behavior. For this purpose, a face-to-face consumer survey with 821 respondents was conducted in Istanbul. A paired sample t-test was carried out in order to compare consumers' average frequency of using plastic bags, bringing their own bags for shopping, using plastic bags obtained in shopping for domestic waste and purchasing bin bags for domestic waste before/after the implementation of the policy of charging for plastic bags. Two different multiple regression analyses were carried out to determine which factors affect the change in plastic bag demand by the consumers for when the plastic bags were free of charge and for when they were paid. The results suggest that there has been a statistically significant change in consumers' behaviors towards using plastic bags in shopping and the means of keeping domestic waste.

这项研究的目的是检验塑料袋费用（最近在土耳其实施）对消费者行为的影响。为此，在伊斯坦布尔进行了821位受访者的面对面消费者调查。配对样本t进行了测试，以比较消费者在实施该政策之前/之后使用塑料袋，自带购物袋，使用在购物中获得的塑料袋作为生活垃圾以及购买垃圾袋作为家庭垃圾的平均频率。为塑料袋充电。进行了两种不同的多元回归分析，以确定哪些因素影响了消费者对塑料袋何时免费以及何时付款的需求。结果表明，消费者在购物中使用塑料袋的行为以及保持生活垃圾的方式在统计学上有显着变化。
