This seems like a setup to counter the bag bans by the plastic industry.

It’s not like paper bags, which are incredibly compostable and recyclable, didn’t exist before this entire plastic nonsense came to fruition. And they are readily available, domestically produced and work great.

All we need are better handles because they aren’t great for carrying long distances and break catastrophically instead of stretching like plastic. Not great.

The "study" cited was literally conducted and written by the plastic industry, so that's exactly what it is.
