According to an OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) report, last year, the world used 460 million tons of plastic, nearly double the figure recorded in 2000. At the same time, the amount of plastic waste has also more than doubled, to 353 million tons. However, the amount of plastic waste recycled is only 9%. This will worsen pollution and global warming. The OECD has proposed a series of measures to help solve this problem, including developing the recycled shopping bag market. Here are some benefits of reusable bags.
