Why are plastic bags problematic?
Plastic bags are problematic for a few reasons, but mainly, they’re extremely hard to recycle, and they tend to get wrapped around sorting equipment (which slows down the recovery process). We encourage you not to use plastic bags when possible, but if you do, please either reuse them or take them back to grocery stores that offer a take-back program.
