I suggest another reasoning: when plastic packaging start the historical advertisement was "save trees, nature with plastic", because yes, without it even if bamboo is strong and light enough, cardboard cheap enough, paper help etc at the actual rate we need simply too much resources for nature to regenerate. Or to enlarge a bit: build homes with wood means build something recyclable at least once, environmental friendly, renewable etc BUT only if the wood demand remain below a certain threshold. Well, for packaging not just bags it's the same. I have no massive data, nor I do not know if I can source them somewhere but I suspect that the main issue these days is that we simply need too much to avoid using plastic. So a ban can work ONLY with some other push toward less packing witch is FAR less easy. I'm from EU where the first push toward mater-B (a kind of polymer made from corn) end up in two kind of scandals: - it's not deteriorate easily in nature, just like nylon bags - it's more fragile, meaning instead of using a single bag you use two to be safe, and it's production is not much sustainable Than the ban of single-use plastic dish, glasses, spoon, forks etc substituted by bamboo ones. Sure they to not pollute once dropped in nature, but how many forest need to be cut and substituted with bamboo to sustain the demand? The answer here is "well, just we metal/ceramic/glass stuff, wash them, reuse, we all have a dishwasher". Doing the same for fast food, supermarkets etc is FAR LESS easy specially in modern dense cities where people shop by feet nearby their home every days instead of by car once a week or less. The bottomline: to ban plastic we need to ban the modern dense life to came back to domestic stockpile of foods and so on, to shop with cars and have a garage so we re-use many-usage packing stuff and we buy in large quantity. Witch actually is something NO LOBBY want because meaning reversing the current trend toward 15' cities and "all dependent on services" model.
