I think it could depend a lot where you are. I just took a look at my own paper bag from Trader Joe’s in CA. I looked up the company that produced it, it seems like they’re using 3rd party sourcing certification and source their pulp domestically. Also 40% of the bag is recycled. I’d love to be proven wrong but it seems like it’s a lot better than plastic to me.
Oh without a doubt. I have no idea what sort of store trader joe’s is, but I’d imagine whole foods stores and others who want to look like they give a fuck would do their due diligence on the supply chain. In which case absolutely paper is better than plastic! It’s renewable and doesn’t stick around forever.
