What I still don’t quite get is why there isn’t a shift towards compostable plastic bags. They exist in a lot of formulations including thin ones like the produce bags that Trader Joe’s uses or thicker ones more akin to your average grocery bag. The cost premium for them over regular grocery bags is pretty small and large scale usage of them would mean economies of scale that would further reduce their price.
