[Sg] - Scientists from Nanyang Technological University have found that single-use plastic bags are still the most environmentally feasible option

But PAP has already gone too far in with virtue signalling and making charging for plastic bags mandatory to reverse their policies.




Scientists from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have found that single-use plastic bags have “a lower environmental footprint” compared to single-use paper bags and multi-use cotton bags.

“Our main message is that reusable plastic bags are the best option, provided that they are re-used many times - over 50 times to be precise,” he added.

Adding that it is essential to evaluate the implications “case by case” for dealing with plastic waste, Asst Prof Lisak said: “In a well-structured closed metropolitan waste management system with incineration treatment, using plastic bags may still be the best option that is currently available, provided that there is no significant leakage of waste into the environment.”

Glad that NTU came out with this report. Fucktard businesses have taken advantage of this false notion of "saving the environment" by not providing plastic bag carriers. Doing so also allows them to save money. Most people do reuse plastic bags, unless they are torn or dirty.

All the globalist 'sustainability' countries have followed the same script and roughly the same time schedule. It was never about being environmentally friendly... that's just the excuse given to extract more money from you. :cool:

Single-use plastic bag numbers down 97% in supermarkets since 2015 (UK)​

The 10p plastic bag charge came into effect in May last year (2014). The original date for this introduction was scheduled for April 2021.
