Shopping bag

A shopping bag is a bag that is used to carry items that were purchased during shopping, for example in a grocery store or supermarket. There are different designs for such bags:
Many are single-use. When people reach their home, they throw away the bag.
Some can be used again.
These bags can be made of paper, of different kinds of plastics or of a natural fiber, such as jute or hemp. 
Because plastic bags take a long time to decay, some countries have banned single-use plastic bags.
