If anything is disposed of improperly or carelessly, it can cause problems. My problem with the disposal of plastic bags and poly bags has more to do with how it is being disposed as opposed to what is being disposed. Unfortunately, there is a lot of chatter concerning the banning of plastic shopping bags and poly bags. I think this is a very bad idea. It will destroy US jobs.

That place could be the Packaging and Crating facility; then to the Storage Warehouses; then the Shipping and Handling Warehouse where they meet up with transportation to the Users of plastic bags. I hope you are a responsible user of plastic bags. xodyac
