Completely disagree here. Even by your definition, a bag used for groceries is being given a new life if its reused as a trash bag!

The biggest saving on waste comes from a single re-use. If every plastic bag was used twice we'd need half as many. (If course a third re-use is better, only need 1/3 as many etc.)
