Plastic bags are take many years to decompose. Reducing the incredible volume of plastic bags disposed of each year reduces the volume of landfill they occupy. Also, ‘feral’ plastic bags can cause serious problems for wildlife – birds and fish can easily get their heads stuck in the loops formed by the handles. Not to mention the fact that any products made from ANY recycled substance reduces the demand on our diminishing supply of raw materials.
