The real problem is that we treat everything as disposable, it's not just shopping bags, between new features on things and the cost of repairs it doesn't pay to repair things, take proper care of your things and you get bypassed by technology, it's cheaper to buy a new microwave than to fix one that does not work, same with vacuum cleaners, I could think of a couple of other things in a few minutes too.
