Reusable plastic bottles or metal are great, it's the single use plastics that are really terrible.
The banning of plastic bag sees the rise of reusable bag...being taken as single use. Multiple times higher footprint, multiple times higher cost. People will do everything for their own convenient.
Whereas I miss the old Aldi "single use" plastic bags because I'd use them a few dozen times (not necessarily at Aldi) before they either got holes or a strap broke or something. I've still some stashed in places for when I need a decent plastic bag to hold something.
