It's assumed that the LDPE bag will always be reused as a garbage bag, and that 'permeable' bags will not. Effectively, this assumes that every single time you (re)use whatever you have on hand to carry your groceries home in that's not a flimsy new LDPE bag, an entire sturdy plastic garbage bag is destroyed. By this math, carrying home your groceries in absolutely nothing is substantially more harmful than using a new LDPE bag. Just for fun, if we take this math to its logical extreme, the least environmentally harmful thing to do is to take as many LDPE bags as you can carry all stuffed full of nothing but more empty LDPE bags.
