Reusable bags take up more resources than using single-use plastic bags. You’d need to use the reusable bag for decades to make up for the additional resources to create that bag compared to single-use bags. Things slant even more towards plastic if you can use the bag more than once, like for a bathroom trash bag.
You should look up the fascinating technology of “reusable bags”. I haven’t bought one in years!
I shall relook into those bags I forget every time I go to the shops.
Maybe move on there mate…
Just remember the Tim Minchin song!

If you’re ever in Sydney we should get a beer and brutally insult each other.
See, this is the apex of dispute resolution

Plastic bags get recycled into garbage bags.
Banning plastic bags means I have to BUY plastic bags for garbage
I didn’t argue for banning plastic bags. Using plastic bags for groceries is better for the environment than reusable bags.
