In most of Euorope the canvas bag is the norm. I lived there when I was much younger and have since used the canvas bag when shopping.
When purchasing local fish /meat they use a wax paper to wrap the fish . Some use newspaper (yuck).
I've been lucky enough to travel extensively and no matter what part of the world I was in, plastic and styrofoam were a trash/debris problem. Its hard to not use plastic bags completely. They do make a
decomposable "plastic" bag (and plates/cups) with a corn starch base.
enjoy.
