There is an even starker difference in energy consumption when comparing reusable bags with paper or compostable plastic bags. (Longchamp Le Pliage Bags) Obviously, paper and compostable bags are biodegradable. However, the American Chemistry Council maintains that paper bags use 2,622 MJ during the life cycle of 1,000 bags, while they have about the same carrying capacity as 1500 plastic bags.

 Using the same carrying capacity of paper versus plastic, over the course of two years paper bags consume about 1155 MJ. This is about 8 times the energy of four cotton bags and 7 times the energy of four polyester bags. With regard to compostable bags, the energy figure is over 5 times the energy of polyester bags, or about 912 MJ.

Compared with cotton, compostable bags use about 6.5 times the energy. Taking the figures out to eight reusable bags, polyester or cotton, these disposables will still use considerably more energy than reusable bags will. As you can see, reusable Cheap Longchamp bags are the hands-down winner for the environment. But you probably already knew that, even without all of the technical data, didn't you?
