There are already compostable alternatives to plastic bags being sold in stores like Target. I heard one of the issues is that people/companies refuse to pay more for them.
Some of those "compostable" bags actually decompose into microplastics, so unfortunately they're not always better
Do you have a citation for that? That sounds like disinformation. Compostable bags are made from plants not plastic. https://www.makeitmatter.com/faq
