Better than disposable, but not fantastic
I was given a set of envirosax for a gift, and I admit, I do use them regularly. It's nice that they pack so small that I can always have one in the bottom of my bag or backpack. However, they are made from 100% polyester, so they are essentially made from the same petroleum as a disposable plastic bag. It's better that they are made to be reused often, but, let's face it, it's still oil. And when they wear out, where are they going to end up? Probably still in a landfill.
Plus, they are made in China, and the company is based in Australia, so they made quite a long trek around the world before they ended up in my pocket in Oregon.
So, if you're choosing between envirosax and disposable plastic, obviously go with envirosax. But organic, natural materials, or materials reclaimed from the waste stream are a much better choice in the long run.
