The plastic shopping bag is a valuable resource that provides a safe, convenient and hygienic way to
transport groceries or other purchases. Each bag weighs around 6 or 7 grams, but can easily carry 6.5
kilograms approximately 1,000 times its own weight. The bags can be reused in many ways and then
recycled into new products, such as new bags, plastic shopping carts and baskets, compost bins, paneling,
laminate sub-flooring, landscape timber and lumber.
