The Average Plastic Bag is Used for 12 Minutes ... and Takes 500 Years to Break Down
Plastic vs. Paper
Americans use 100 billion plastic bags a year, requiring more than 12 million barrels of oil to manufacture.
- Only 1% of plastic bags are recycled. The rest are in landfills.
- It takes 500 (or more) years for a plastic bag to degrade in a landfill. They never “go away” - instead becoming micro-plastics that absorb toxins and continue to pollute the environment.
- Paper comes from a renewable resource. Each year 1.7 billion trees are planted in the United States.
- Paper is recycled at a higher rate than plastic. A record 67.2% of paper consumed in the US was recovered for recycled in 2016. The remainder is often reused for other purposes including composting.
- Paper is recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable.
