Plastic bags are lightweight, flexible containers made from various types of plastic, primarily polyethylene. They are widely used due to their convenience, low cost, and versatility. Plastic bags are commonly found in grocery stores, retail shops, and for packaging various products. Their ability to be produced in bulk and their resistance to moisture make them an attractive option for consumers and businesses alike. However, the very characteristics that make plastic bags popular also contribute to significant environmental concerns, as they are often used only once before being discarded, leading to increased plastic waste in landfills and oceans.
