It seems like a simple question with a straightforward answer, but when you look at the total environmental impact of each type of bag, things start to get a little complicated.

Great stuff. Too bad the study didn't include the light weight nylon fabric bags. They're my favourite: light; strong; durable. Would have liked to see how they stack up.

I think you're onto something. The closest thing to those would be the durable plastic bags, which are made of different polymers such as PETE or Number 1 plastic.
