We bought some reusable cotton when the ban first came in, and they're all still going. We have a few of the heavier weight plastic too> As yet only one has failed and that was one of the throwaway style but simply thicker. The better ones have stitched reinforcement and handles and seem like they'll go indefinitely.

We used to get so many disposable bags that we had never in a decade or two bought bin bags, and still managed to keep accumulating. Now we have to buy those, although we try to keep use to the absolute minimum by being creative with the unavoidable plastic we do get. It's a bit frustrating.

I'd prefer paper and card once again, as those tended to disappear quite benignly if thrown away carelessly, single use bags were an ugly blight everywhere.
