Yes, but keep scale.

The short answer
Plastic bags are linked to climate through materials, manufacturing, transport and end-of-life treatment. But do not pretend one bag is the whole climate story.
14:00Scale matters. So does reuse. So does not buying nonsense.
14:03Climate claims need context, not theatre.
The comparison trap
A reusable bag can make sense when it is reused enough. A heavier bag used once can be worse than it looks.
14:12A compostable caddy liner has a different job again: wet food waste, fit, strength and the right disposal route.
14:19What helps most
Use fewer unnecessary bags, reuse bags you already own, and choose products for the exact routine rather than the nicest claim.
