Plastic bags for rubbish or litter are sold in a number of sizes at many other stores in packets or rolls of a few tens of bags. Wire twist ties are sometimes supplied for closing the bag once full. In the mid-1990s rubbish bags with draw strings for closure were introduced. Some bags have handles which may be tied, or holes through which the neck of the bag can be pulled. Most commonly, the rather soft, flexible plastic used to make rubbish bags is LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) or, for strength, LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene). HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) is sometimes used. Polyethylene or polyethene is one of the simplest and most inexpensive polymers. ... Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a substantially linear polymer, with significant numbers of short branches, commonly made by copolymerization of ethylene with longer-chain olefins. ...

As far as I can tell from the pictures in the Greek links, the bags have drawstrings. They look like drawstrings to me!
The drawstring can be pulled to tighten or close the bag.

: Are you sure? Twist ties have wire in them. They are made of wire covered with plastic./If I've understood correctly, the 'clip' you mention is a plastic bag closure with a slit in it (not something you can tie).

They are still called twist ties even with wire in them, but for garbage bags could they mean the disc clips that have a hole that is split that you push the plastic bag into?
