I wonder how much of that growth is because the bags themselves are so much thicker/heavier now. It would be interesting to compare count vs. weight.
It looks like the new, thick bags are 5x thicker than the old, thin ones (0.5 mils vs 2.5 mils) [0]. 11lb is a lot less than 5x 8lb, so the per-person bag trashing must be drastically lowered, unless weight and thickness aren’t correlated.
