Shopping bags need to be washed, too. Meat juices, being set down on dirty surfaces (bus stop, muddy driveway), left for a week in a house with pests or vermin, etc. Most people are not going to want to reuse someone else's reusable bag without laundering.
- DangitBobby 7y agoThe crux of all of these issues is that we want the benefits of containers without the consequences. Well, we're learning that you have to deal with it at some point, be it the occasional washing or mountains of trash. People are going to have to just suck it up about reusing things. As long as it's safe, people's feelings about perceived ickiness will go away once the practice is normalized. And eventually we won't even remember how convenient it was to just throw things away.

- kristopolous 7y agoFlipping it inside out every time would solve most of these problems. The scraps would come out and thinks would get a chance to evaporate. It's not a luxury product solution, sure. But if I was traveling to a poor country and everyone was doing it, I'd consider it clever and just go along with it.
