MANUFACTURE:
Most of plastic bags are made of coal, petroleum, so they reduce reserves of fossil fuels. Harmful gases are given off during manufacture. Example: carbon monoxide, VAC, etc.DISPOSAL:

Recycling also produce many toxic material of many kind.POLLUTION:
*If you dump plastic bags it took more than 500 years to decompose.* It reduces soil fertility. It piled up in landfills. It’s burning can cause asthma and cancer. Reason is Bis phenol A, phosphates, and sticky materials used in manufacturing.
*Marine life has the biggest threat due to plastic bags, 100,000 marine creatures a year die from plastic entanglement.
