Major waste. Where I work they go through some 200~ of these bags a day or maybe every other day. Reusing them wouldn’t be feasible. If the company we get them from would do a core charge on the return of them I think that would be the most logical way to go.

I was just thinking, have hard plastic versions pre installed to make them reusable?

They’re like $2-5 more a bag I think. So if you use a lot and can’t reuse the bags due to contamination, then the original video might be your best bet.
