In Ireland a few years ago a plastic bag levy was introduced. If you want a plastic bag at the checkout, you have to pay 5c for each one.
Now everyone has reusable shopping bags they bring to the stores.
The bags are much more rugged than single use plastic bags or paper, and reuse is better than recycling.
However, I think shopping bags are probably not the intended market for this stuff, and the need is more to replace the plastic wrapping that covers food. There have been efforts here and in the UK to reduce the amount of packaging in the first place but there will continue to be places where we still need it for a while
