On average we use a plastic bag for approximately just 12-20 minutes before disposing
(Depending on which
study you read)

Some reports estimate that plastic bags can take over 400 years to degrade (Parliment, NSW.gov.au)

Plastic Bag Facts:

The world uses anywhere from 500 billion to 1.2 trillion plastic bags a year. (epa.gov)

That averages out somwhere between 290-300 plastic bags used per poerson per year in the UK (Parliment.UK) (londoncouncils.gov.uk)

That is approximately one million bags per minute.
