Plastic bags were introduced just over 25 years ago. Our handy little
plastic bag consumption rate is now estimated at well over 500 billion
annually, or almost 1 million per minute. Single-use bags made of
high-density polyethylene (HDPE) are the main culprit. Once brought
into existence to tote your purchases, they'll accumulate and persist
on our planet for up to 1,000 years. Plastics are forever! Plastics do
NOT biodegrade. Rather, they
photodegrade. A process, where sunlight breaks down plastic into
smaller and smaller pieces.
