I know that. But if you show up to an oil field and buy a barrel of oil, they're not going to give it to you in plastic bags.

    Imagine the plastic waste and pollution! I think they should maybe consider hemp? That's an environmentally friendly option and it'll make a tremendous difference. /s

    Could petrol break down the plastic?

      Yes, crude oil / gasoline / diesel will break down polyethylene grocery bags.

        Great, biodegradable bags. You could charge more.

  Maybe they could use a plastic bag surrounded by a cardboard box, like the bulk cat litter at Menards.

  Selling you a single barrel of oil on a once off basis is _almost_ as absurd as expecting delivery in plastic bags.

    Unless you're in Canada, where they sell everything in plastic bags, and a barrel of oil is a solid chunk of rock at room temperature.
