From what I have read, during the manufacturing process, an oxo-bioodegradable additive is used. This additive is blended into the plastic during the extrusion process, so, it is less harmful for the environment. I particularly like the brand EconoGreen from Jig-A-Loo. Their new line of plastic bags are made from 100% recycled plastic, are 100% oxodegradable and 100% recyclable.

The reason for this post was the rush to ban plastic bags among the policy makers in almost all states of India. They just do not seem to realize that paper bags are also harmful You gave the solution yourself.

I was aware of the majority of the arguments you mentioned, and I agree that paper bags aren't an environmental solution. I do believe, however, that plastic bags should be banned. A pilot project announced in my city for collecting plastic bags for recycling led me to publishing an opinion article since I believe this option (which is actually, even less feasible than others) is worse. I think the key to solution, like in many other environmental/consumption dilemmas, is simply avoiding the use of plastic bags, and instead using multiple-use bags - these can (maybe should) be made of recycled materials. Instead of using tens of the disposable thin plastic bags, using one (sustainable) cloth bag is easy, convenient and much more eco-friendly than any other solution that is practically more reputation-friendly.
