What Does The Future Hold For Reusables Post-COVID?
Resource cites CEI’s Angelo Logomasini’s report on single use plastics:
In the US, there have been calls that reusable bags are hindering the fight to tackle the virus resulting in policy change; the governor of Massachusetts banned reusable bags and lifted plastic bag bans and New York state delayed its plastic ban enforcement from March to June 2020. Similarly, researchers at the US think tank Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) claimed that reusable grocery bags pose a greater health risk than plastic ones, suggesting they harbour significant amounts of bacteria and contribute to the spread of Covid-19.
