The Bag Science website has been designed as a resource tool for government, policymakers, key decision-makers and anyone interested in the science of plastic shopping bags. It provides analyses of reduction programs, scientific studies done by governments, fact sheets on topical issues like litter and entanglements, Life Cycle Analyses (LCA’s), poll results, audit summaries and technical reports to address the myths and misinformation around plastic.
