Yummy microplastics!
Your new bag of bags will be made from your bag of bags. You’ve reached peak Midwestern.

I was kind of joking, but plastic bags create microplastics and nanoplastics through photo-degradation and manipulation. Unfortunately, stretching, tearing, cutting, and twisting plastic bags create both micro- and nano-plastics. So you’re definitely creating them now, not in 5-10 years.
Avoiding microplastics is basically impossible though, so I wouldn’t stress it. You should look up how much magic eraser sponges create. It was actually so crazy I decided not to use them again, even if avoiding microplastics is not realistic.
This will prevent you from using plastic bags ever again?? That’s the real value. Nice job!

Most people only bring one or two bags to the shops with them. Looks like you’re bringing double digits of bags lol

If only I didn’t have a dozen tote bags already. At any rate, the plastic bags around here all get used for disposal of pet waste. Fun project though. My kid is into crocheting and made a sort of rug out of them once.

Always though about learning to crochet and this gets my attention. Where do I begin?

Smart.
Question, would this make it take longer to decompose? Because it’s all tied together instead of seperate?
Awesome bag either way

How many bags do you think it will take the complete?

You don’t use it for trash?

The micro plastics will probably last a couple hundred years but the plastic shopping bag as a recognizable object will typically disintegrate within 5-10 years. It may last a bit longer being crocheted like that, assuming a good portion is protected from UV light.
