Well, here in California we've decided that most stores are mandated to provide "reusable" plastic shopping bags (at a cost of $0.10 each) which are more durable and made of a thicker plastic.
I don't know a single person that treats them as any less disposable than the thin plastic bags they replaced. There is little to no information or infrastructure supporting recycling them.
I'm just glad the stores around here give paper bags if you ask for them.
reusable plastic bags are perfect for small trash bags for little litter, the non reusable variant needs 2-3 to prevent leakage, paper just sucks.
