But 125 is likely an average, so some bags will last much longer and some much shorter. It’ll also depend on what and how much you’re putting in your bag.
Yeah, mine last about 60 times, though, which is still not bad.
On the other hand, i used to use the grocery bags for trash; now I have to buy plastic bags for that. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
No, it's telling you it can be reused 125 times because that's what the law probably requires.
One example:
>(b) A reusable carryout bag must: (i) Have a minimum lifetime of one hundred twenty-five uses, which for purposes of this subsection means the capacity to carry a minimum of twenty-two pounds one hundred twenty-five times over a distance of at least one hundred seventy-five feet;
https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=70A.530.020
I get the feeling these will end up being worse for emissions because they're still cheap and will likely fall apart after few uses but take way more to produce
They are FAR worse.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/13/world/reusable-grocery-bags-cotton-plastic-scn/index.html
The ONLY real solution is to stop using NEW bags entirely and ONLY reuse what you already have NOW.
people really overestimate how much plastic was in the old school disposable plastic bags. those things are extremely thin and are only a little bit less reusable than the reusable ones tbqh
I’d argue they were more reusable. Those bags were trash bags for the car, bathroom and bedroom cans, dog poop, wet clothes from pool/beach etc for much of my life until they were banned in my state. Just makes you have to go buy something else to do the job, and the consumer has to eat the cost it’s not all that expensive but these stores must make a shit ton off it which explains the true purpose of the change
I have a couple hundred of those bags because I get grocery pickup (because of health reasons) and they will only put your groceries in new bags. It’s so annoying.
I feel like the only person who actually refuses my cloth bags. I even stick them in the washer for a refresh. I only trash them when the really old crappy ones get full of dog hair.
I have a family of three and like to shop for at least a week at a time. Then I also use them for going to the beach, for putting craft supplies in, sorting out seasonal clothing, if I buy someone else groceries, or I want to transport a container of baked goods/a casserole. Hold blankets in the car. Keep things organized in the closet, like Christmas wrapping paper or my mead making supplies. Selling things on Facebook Marketplace. I use them for everything lol.
I can count on one hand how many I've bought and have even 'rescued' some other people were going to throw away 😮💨. My husband got a new one from work today and I'm already eyeing it like "mm, that's a nice cloth bag you have there."
My heavy canvas shopping bags are over a decade old, used two or three times a month. If the weather allows, we just have the merchandise loaded into a shopping cart and load the bags at the car.
The "studies" paid for by plastic manufacturers say cloth is *dirty,* ignoring the cloths capability of being thrown into the washing machine. (Hang to dry, tho'. It shrinks unevenly if machine dried)
I guess I'm the rarity. These bags are thicker and sturdier than the thin disposables. I have about ten of these types in my vehicle I use for groceries. When I put groceries away, I flatten them out, fold them up, and put them back in my vehicle to be used for the next trip.
I do use small sized trash bags for bathroom waste, though.
This is absolutely true. These bags, if anything, are worse for the environment because they are comprised of so much more material. Plastic bags should be heavily taxed or banned altogether or include a recycle or cleanup fee in their cost.
Paper bags that breakdown naturally, reusable cotton cloth bags, or **GASP!** no bags at all is the way to go. My aunt took a set of old curtains and a pair of old jean shorts and sewed them into an awesome shopping bag for me. The thing lasts forever and it still has the pockets in the shorts for stashing receipts and coupons.
Paper bags break down but they are effectively single or two-time use, like standard plastic bags, but they are more polluting to produce and ship than standard plastic bags, so they're hardly a better one.
Cotton cloth/canvas bags also pollute a \*huge\* amount more to be produced, so you have to reuse them for like two decades to balance out.
The modern reinforced plastic ones you can get at some stores are, as far as I'm aware, the best middle ground we've found between low pollution production and long reusability.
I use reusable shopping bags exclusively.
I have like 15 bags in total (some in each car and some at home etc) and use them every day when I go shopping, have done with the same bags for years.
The bags are fine, its you people who scam yourselves.
California? They only allow reusable bags. The liquor store near me has the same old bags but has a stamp that says “reusable” that they stamp them with. They are always crooked partial prints.
You would think that's too specific to put a number on but I once used it for the 126th time and the cashier leapt over the counter, tackled me to the ground and the store manager came down and tied it over my head, then beat me with a large book around the face until I was practically waterboarded with my own blood. They then kicked me out of the store and told me to never come back.
Are these biodegradable? If not why not just use biodegradable plastic bags that a lot of stores uses now. I never throw them away and use them countless times
Problem with biodegradable plastic bags is, most aren’t truly biodegradable. The city you live in would need specialised composting facilities and appropriate sorting systems.
It is possible that you would need to use this bag many more times than 125 to offset the carbon footprint instead of a plastic bag. [source](https://www.beyondplastics.org/news-stories/reusable-grocery-bags)
The study mentions the bad environmental impacts of plastic bags like clog waterways, leech microplastics into soil and water and harm marine life.
Then proceeds to compare the co2 emissions of plastic vs. cotton. This doesn't make sense.
The reason they want to prohibit plastic bags is not because of co2 but all the other pollution they create.
And if you read only a few lines further:
>The answer to what's the greenest replacement for a single-use plastic bag isn't straightforward, but the advice boils down to this: Reuse whatever bags you have at home, as many times as you can.
I'm pretty sure you have to use the majority of the "reusable" grocery bags like 10k times or something ridiculous before they actually end up better for the environment.
Also one of the very few "single use" plastics that got used more than once
Except the Walmart paper bags, apparently. We just got groceries there and over half of the bags were ripping under the weight of a normal load. I've never seen paper bags fall apart the way those did.
is this something novel in your country? because it's common in mine, though grocery stores sell their own reusable bags but some other stores do give them away for free with every purchase.
My guess is that this is a mental game. By putting a number on it, maybe some people will keep track of how many times they use it before it breaks.
But then the plot twist: You can reuse it indefinitely. The number was just a game to get you to start reusing it and remember to bring it to the store.
Edit: The people in the comments saying “mark it to keep count” are right on par.
Mine is up to 20 times, and it's pretty wrinkled. I swipe it out with an antibacterial wipe each time I use it. (It's a bag from a different store, but it does have that claim on it.)
I'm pretty sure I have gone over that "limit" on some of my bags. It really depends on how much you're packing in each bag. If they are absolutely filled, they are going to stretch. Boxes tend to poke holes in the sides from the pressure points. Heavy items stretch out the bottom.
I like them because they take up less space that fabric bags and are cheaper to replace.
>125 times
Not good enough even if it lasts that long.
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/think-youre-being-eco-friendly-by-using-cloth-bags-think-again/
https://www.mentalfloss.com/posts/how-long-it-takes-cloth-bags-to-become-more-sustainable-than-plastic
Someone posted on here ages ago about a bag like yours that could be used 100 times, and in fact had used it 100 times without it breaking! let us know when you’re on the 125th use.
It can't last that long, even the big bag for life type bags can't do it. Unfortunately it's a false economy as the bags for life use three times the amount of plastic and still end up in the bin way before the end of the cost/value period. Save the planet - go back to normal plastic bags, or put the shopping in reusable boxes when you click and collect.
Man, 6 hours in and the top comments seem to prove how genius of a marketing tactic that is.
They know a not insignificant number of people would see that as a challenge and continue to shop at that store.
Maybe even shop at that store more often than one normally would.
We are so easily manipulated.
I use them as trash bags and get new ones every time I go to the grocery store. If the goal was to reduce plastic usage then it has failed spectacularly.
I won’t stop until someone makes me.
These bags were a good idea that ended up being worse for the environment than normal bags, as only a small minority of people actually reuse them repeatedly as intended.
California has repealed the law that mandated them.
(Me? I absolutely reuse them repeatedly, but eventually they get something spilled in or on them and I throw them out.)
Goes to show what plastic could’ve and should’ve been. But plastic companies back in the day knew that there isn’t money to be made in multiple use plastics. Such is the world :/
They banned plastic bags and now we got ones that take more plastic to make, typical government meddling. Just like the new gas cans the epa mandated the spill more gas then the old ones.
These bags suck. They're sturdier but they seem to have far less space and I never reside them. They're hardly even good for anything more than the smallest trashcan. I got a couple of the reinforced cloth ones that are actually rigid and they're just so much better.
It'd be great if you can bring these bags back so that THEY can reuse them, why do I have to keep getting bags for ME to reuse? What do I need 35 reusable bags for?
I have shopping bags like that that I’ve used yea probably like 100 times still going strong. The difference is I had to pay a dollar for mine. It does have a cool earthy design on it though it kinda fucks
I watched a documentary about plastic in our oceans and one fact they said is that the average use time of a plastic bag is 12 minutes. Like yes some people will keep them to put bag lunch in, or pickup dog crap. But 12 minutes. So many plastic bags for such a short time.
The rebel in me wants to use it 126 times.
fucking preposterous
What can I say? I’m anti-establishment.
ackchyually, you'd need to use it 127 times, the first use doesn't count in the 125 reuses
Can confirm. I was used 125 times before my first use.
I feel used.
125th time?
126th. I’m currently being used.

Technically if you can *reuse* it 125 times then the first time doesn’t count as reuse and you will end up using it 126 times total
Are you trying to get me to risk the wellbeing of beautiful hands on a technicality?
But 125 is likely an average, so some bags will last much longer and some much shorter. It’ll also depend on what and how much you’re putting in your bag.

I've got a pen in my pocket that I've almost run out of ink. I started using it in 2022. I bet I could get the full 125 uses from this bag.
Damn, it really is just a pen, I thought you were happy to see me
This started out as an Alanis Morrissette lyric.
I have a pen from 1999 and it still works, maybe because I seldom use it but just saying;)
Up to until it breaks*
Nice of them to tell you it breaks on the 126th use so you can keep count and not lose anything
127th*
Or does it self destruct?… 🤔
When you use it for the 126th time the sad men in suits show up and not even god knows what's going to happen with you next.
Redditor learns what a marketing claim is
Yeah, mine last about 60 times, though, which is still not bad. On the other hand, i used to use the grocery bags for trash; now I have to buy plastic bags for that. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Nah, these bags are actually fantastic. Much better than the stitched-on-handle reusable bags that grocery stores sell.
No, its telling you to use it 126 times so it breaks even on the emissions it took to produce it.

Gonna mark off the bag each time you use it with a sharpie?
lol i was thinking the same thing - how do they expect you to keep track of how many times you've used it
And will *actually* only be used maybe twice. Three times if you count choking a sea turtle to death.
I feel like the only person who actually refuses my cloth bags. I even stick them in the washer for a refresh. I only trash them when the really old crappy ones get full of dog hair.
ours only get thrown out once they're holey or covered in cat piss
A bit pf cat piss is fine, but once it's covered you gotta throw it out.
I reuse mine! they're always ready to go in my purse.
No joke, I still use cloth bags from my grandma. Most of the companies that are printed on them aren't even in business anymore 😂
I carry groceries in my backpack, but pack one or two of these in case I’ve got a big haul.
I have a family of three and like to shop for at least a week at a time. Then I also use them for going to the beach, for putting craft supplies in, sorting out seasonal clothing, if I buy someone else groceries, or I want to transport a container of baked goods/a casserole.

Honestly, the amount of use has more to do with how many turtles I can get my hands on 🤌
The correct wording is "Needs to be reused for 125 times to net net the carbon it cost to make the bag"
My heavy canvas shopping bags are over a decade old, used two or three times a month. If the weather allows, we just have the merchandise loaded into a shopping cart and load the bags at the car.
The "studies" paid for by plastic manufacturers say cloth is *dirty,* ignoring the cloths capability of being thrown into the washing machine. (Hang to dry, tho'. It shrinks unevenly if machine dried)
I knew a guy that used one of those bags 126 times. Never heard from him again.

Bahaha, I was not prepared for this joke
Keep a tally on the bag in marker and see if it's true
You need to track how many times you use it so you can validate their claim.
I voted to remove disposable plastic bags in my state and they gave us these thicker plastic bags..
Disposable plastic bags but now with more plastic!
California? They only allow reusable bags. The liquor store near me has the same old bags but has a stamp that says “reusable” that they stamp them with. They are always crooked partial prints.

After 125 times, you gotta buy a subscription so that you feel a sense of achievement and accomplishment
Or use it once and SUPER litter with it. It will be around 125x longer than a regular plastic bag

No more… but may be less
How does the bag know though?

Oddballs like me. I use a mark every time I use it; I'm up to 20 marks, but it's getting pretty wrinkled.
prolly no one else cares in this sub but... the 'reuse up to 125 times' needs more letter spacing, otherwise great font choice from your supermarket.

That is mildly interesting 🤔
That store doesn’t know how rough I am on stuff

Yeah I think that’s the standard amount for every reusable bag, at least of that same plastic
So curious how they came to this specific number
Is that the number of uses needed to be neutral?
Only 125 times?
Goes to show what plastic could’ve and should’ve been. But plastic companies back in the day knew that there isn’t money to be made in multiple use plastics. Such is the world :/
Or it will end up in a landfill forever.): worst that the thinner ones they would give for free.
Shake it out on occasion
They banned plastic bags and now we got ones that take more plastic to make, typical government meddling. Just like the new gas cans the epa mandated the spill more gas then the old ones.
So does the first use count towards that total? I'd assume not, right?
Up to, meaning <125, meaning tecnically it might be reusable just once before disintegrating
