The Plastic Bag

The Plastic Bag is an ongoing project by Matt Greenwood that began in 2015, photographing his archive of plastic bags.

The Plastic Bag started as a simple curiosity around the designs on plastic bags, but it’s grown into something much bigger. So far, Matt has collected over 1,000 single-use bags from around the world. What began as a small obsession with their design has become a bigger exploration of sustainability, waste, and the everyday things we overlook.
