But that’s a big assumption to work from no? The fact that a plastic bag is going to be used more than once. I mean definitely a paper bag is less practical, but it won’t end up in a landfill trying to decompose for god knows how many years…
There are loads of single use plastics in our daily lives that are pretty much heading to a landfill as they won’t be recycled.
Is this audited in any way by authorities? How do you know what has been recycled and what is “virgin” plastic?
That’s definitely the way forward in my opinion. Do people get any incentive to use the deposit system or it’s already ingrained in the culture?
