    Paper vs Plastic vs Reusable Bags,

    Explanation:

    A reusable bag is more eco-friendly as the plastic bag or polythene destroys the environment as the chemical and physical properties don't get depleted easily and it takes 1000 years for plastic or polythene to recycle in the earth natural ecosystem. Paper, on the other hand, also takes two to six weeks to completely thus due to the amount of carbon that is generated in paper over the period. For a molecule of paper to decompose completely, it needs to be broken down into small and tiny particle matter. Reuse Bags can be easily be decomposed without harming the environment and thus have a lower carbon footprint. While the most drastic impact is that of plastic and paper.
