It was found in all of the cases under study that the more the
option of reuse is chosen, the lower the environmental impact. In
one of the cases in this study, itwas found that even a 5% increase in
reuse option selected, around 20% of carbon footprint will be saved.
Hence, the key here is that consumers must reuse the bags till they
can be discarded. Once they decide to discard, the other best option
would to be sending the bag to recycling rather than disposing it off
to landfill.
