Is it true that reusable shopping bags have a lower environmental impact than single-use plastic bags?
Unclear. The retrieved items only partially support the claim: a reference page states jute reusable bags replace over 600 single bags and are seen as the ecological option, and a perception review calls eco-friendly bags the greatest alternative to plastic carry bags. No item provides a direct life-cycle comparison of reusable shopping bags versus single-use plastic bags.
