From Google:
Polypropylene (thicker plastic): Needs to be used an estimated 10 to 20 times to have the same climate impact as one single-use plastic bag.
Cotton (conventional): Can require 50 to 150 uses to break even with a single-use plastic bag.
We have about 30 re-usable bags in our house. We do our best to re-use them as frequently as possible. I don't know if we've achieved the goal of re-using each one 10 to 20 times though.
