Evidence shows paper bags are quickly discarded due to their tendency to tear.This issue plagues HDPE plastic bags as well.But even when they're made to avoid tearing,their widespread availability makes it easy to treat them as single-use items.Fortunately, researchers estimate that 40% of HDPE bags are reused at least once for throwing out waste.Recycling these bags also offsets their carbon footprint,but it's not universally possible for each material.
