Compostable and Reuseable Shopping Bags Paper or plastic? Neither. Next time, bring cloth bags or string bags with you to the store and never wonder about your answer. Keep our green shopping bags in your car if you normally drive to the grocery store, or near your door if you walk or bike. Canvas shopping bags are stronger than paper or plastic bags - no more wine bottles, jelly jars or milk cartons breaking on the ground. Green shopping bags last for years, and can be washed with your clothes. Also, cloth and string bags don't require trees, like paper bags, and they don't require oil wells and refineries, like plastic bags.
On the occasions when you do need to use the bags provided by grocery stores, it doesn't matter that much if you choose paper or plastic. What matters is that you reuse and recycle the bags.
