Depends on how your area is supporting different sorts of recycling\trash disposal.
Some have paper bags for food waste that gets picked up. Some areas don't at all (like mine) so it just goes into the general trash - that, we'll personally we reuse the grocery store bags for that, but it's also about just generally producing less trash to limit how many plastic bags or and well, plastic containers\packaging\items you need in total.
Paper doesn't need a plastic bag, plastic bags obvi. goes into plastic when you can't reuse it anymore b\c if you have zero plastic in your life you're extremely lucky to be able to do that. Bottles or metal\glass don't really need a plastic bag either. You can just reuse one you already own in whatever material for a lot of it. The moment you take the wet trash out of it, you don't have the same 'need' for plastic bags in that sense.
Like you can build a lifestyle around less plastic waste but it isn't like you just don't use a plastic bag if that's what your area is supporting. it's not choosing plastic in situations you normally would so you reduce, reusing what you already have and repurposing it as many times as possible.
Anyways, the issue (imo) is not really reusing plastic. It's new (over)production and burning instead of recycling it. Like it's here like it or not, the question is how we're going to address it as an issue we will have to live with for a long time ahead.
