      Recyle them. Supermarkets have good recyling schemes and the polymer that they collect is of a high quality (so the recycled material has more potential uses).

      Hi Aamir like Arthur I think we should definitely be recycling and reusing our plastics. I tend to keep my plastic bags and use them as bin liners around the house, or for transporting my lunch in. However I do think we rely on them too much – which is why cloth or sturdy plastic bags should be available since they can be reused multiple times.
