Sustainability Rating

In this sustainability chart we're going with 5 being the best and 1 being "Oh my god. How are we doing this to our planet." Hopefully by now you already have a good guess in your head as to what plastic bags rank as from the information from this presentation. But I'm required to show you the chart anyways.

5- This product uses lots of renewable resources as well as renewable energy in production. The disposal process is 100% legit recycling and reusing.

4- So close to the top! Only a few mistakes and maybe your machines aren't running at full efficiency when creating the product.

3- There are some flaws in the lifeline of this product. Excess packaging, only usable for a few times. Maybe only lasts a few years. Not much effort for recycling.

2- There are some obvious errors in the way this product is fabricated, distributed, and disposed of.

1- There has been little or no effort at all towards creating a green product. The only way to solve this crisis is to phase it out ASAP! (Jeez, only a plastic bag would get a rating this bad.)

I gave plastics bags a 1 for their sustainability rating. An HUGE amount ends up in landfills where they will never decompose. Or in the ocean, where they contribute to many birth defects in humans because of bio magnification. Plastic bags are not a sustainable product :(
