Another benefit is that they are reusable. This means that they can be saved and used for multiple shopping occasions, as they are easily rinsed out and repurposed. Furthermore, people can use these bags to pack things and store miscellaneous.
However, there are disadvantages for utilising these bags. Firstly, they can threat animals.

Moreover, these thrown bags can also enter the nearest water bodies causing a threat to the marine animals. Secondly, plastic bags are a huge threat to the environment. According to statistics, just from 20% to 30% of these bags are recycled and majority of them enter the waste stream. It takes almost a thousand years for these bags to disappear completely, leaving the environment in a huge danger.
In conclusion, although plastic bags are beneficial, there would also be some drawbacks for these bags as a result. Therefore, companies should invent an eco-friendly substitute
