I missed it was from a plastics association. But my point about the life-cycle analysis work is still valid - I studied this a little in grad-school and the paper v plastic bag trade-off was frequently discussed because of the surprising results.
(Life-cycle analysis does have huge assumptions involving usage, so it's not an exact science)
