Notice, this analysis is for Denmark, where it is (reasonably) assumed that Danish plastic bags will be incinerated, so contributing energy at the end of their useful life while not blighting nature
This is a somewhat similar result as that of a 2011 UK government assessment, found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/291023/scho0711buan-e-e.pdf …
Unfortunately the various bans on plastic bags cannot be undone. True believers are immune to evidence and no politician will risk being labelled 'pro-pollution'
People also assume that when you put a plastic bag or straw in a European bin, it goes straight into the sea ! It doesn’t. Most of the plastic in the sea comes from developing countries without effective waste infra + litter + fishing&shipping .
All the way to the Orkney Islands?!!
The assumption there is that plastic bags get reused as bin bags avoiding the use of bin bags but this is probably wrong in most cases. Waste bags end up in the bin, inside another bag. Use of plastic bags quite clearly results in more plastic waste.
@Dev_Fadnavis Sir, I think we should also study this but can’t say whether it can be replicated in MH
Yeah, but we all know that when you make assumptions, the opposite is usually the truth.
And yet we still have a 40p tax on plastic bags... I wonder why...
I have some swamp land in Florida that would be a very attractive investment for you.
The UK study found that a cotton bag must be reused 131 times to have less impact than a plastic bag. That's smaller than the Danish figure by a factor of 100 or so. What accounts for the big difference between the studies?
