Plastic Bags

Plastic bags are lightweight, flexible containers made from thin plastic material, commonly polyethylene. They are widely used for storing, carrying, and packaging items like groceries and retail goods due to their durability and low cost. While convenient, plastic bags pose environmental challenges because they take hundreds of years to decompose in landfills, often causing pollution and harming wildlife. Efforts to reduce their usage include reusable alternatives and recycling programs, aiming to lessen environmental impact while maintaining practicality.
