Are reusable bags better than plastic bags?
We break down the surprising science We all celebrated when plastic bags were banned, first from supermarkets, then across New Zealand. Good. No more turtles eating plastic bag ‘jellyfish’, sharks swimming through great swathes of floating plastic, or whales washing up on shore with stomachs full of plastic. The reality? Not quite what we hoped. The supermarkets turned this in their favour, by manufacturing millions of slightly thicker plastic bags, slapping a ‘reusable’ label on them and selling them for 10c. Nice new revenue stream you’ve got there, guys. The absolute worst choice you can make is buying these reusable bags every time you shop. Most reusable bags are made of mixed materials, which makes them very difficult (or impossible) to recycle. They also require more energy and material to produce than a single-use plastic bag, and generally won’t last.
