Is the statement that "plastic bags are actually more environmentally friendly than paper bags" is correct?
Saw such a report: Plastic bags are actually more environmentally friendly.

No best answer

Plastic bags are environmentally friendly. There is no pollution in the production process of plastic bags. The pollution caused by papermaking is much greater than that after plastic bags are used. Moreover, plastic bags can be reused, and the main problem is how to manage them. Degradable plastic is the best way to reduce pollution. Our factory has produced a batch of light-degradable plastic bags, which can be completely degraded when left in the open for a week without any pollutants. Then no one wants to buy them. Why, because of the same strength The cost of the degradable bag is slightly larger, and it cannot be placed in a place with strong light for a long time and will decompose. There is no mandatory rule on who will buy it.
