Non reusable is defined by the law as plastic bags under 50 microns.
Sure, you can reuse them few times, you should and I do. But it’s a personal and limited action, a law applies to anyone and make a difference on a bigger scale.
I found some numbers, first they charged for plastic bags : 10.5 billion bags in 2002 to 500 million in 2014.
We don’t have numbers yet but they have been banned in 2017, and small shops ans markets still use them, illegally.
