The study you reference was created by a market research firm who didn’t share their data and paid for by plastic lobbyists. They measured projected use only into the first year of implementation when people were understandably buying reusable bags to comply. They took that surge in buying reusable bags as indication of long term demand and then assumed 90% of bags don’t get reused, which contradicts other research done by real researchers.
