Plastic bags are typically made from polyethylene, derived from fossil fuels, which contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions throughout their lifecycle—from extraction and production to disposal. Although plastic bags are recyclable, the reality is that a substantial percentage of them end up in landfills or, worse, in oceans and other natural habitats. In fact, millions of marine animals and countless birds die each year due to plastic ingestion and entanglement. Once in the environment, polythene bags can take hundreds of years to decompose, leading to long-lasting pollution that affects ecosystems and human health alike.

Encouraging customers to return packaging for reuse not only promotes a circular economy but also creates a sense of community between brands and their consumers. Some companies have already taken this step by offering incentives for returning packaging materials, fostering brand loyalty and encouraging customers to participate in sustainable practices.
