Polyethylene is a conventional petroleum-based plastic commonly used in trash bags. Its production contributes to fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and it does not biodegrade, leading to long-term environmental pollution.

This material is derived from previously used plastic products, which helps reduce waste and the demand for new plastic production. However, it still contains synthetic components that may contribute to microplastic pollution.
