If they're shrewd they build it into the cost of the bag.

Not many people knew that blank CD-Rs had a kickback to the recording
industry. Every single one. They *assumed* that CD-Rs would be used for
pirating music, and so lobbied the government to include a built-in
tariff, regardless of what you used them for. The manufacturer pays the
government and bakes the charge into the media.

They probably do the same with bags.
