Even better, let’s start making reusable totes in the US and cut that ratio down, so this is no longer true.
I can say, with insider knowledge, that the reusable packaging industry could start cranking out totes any time, should demand (or, better, legislation) prove sufficient.
Wouldn’t hurt the industry at all, either, as sustainable single-use packaging - much of which is shifting to paper -is heavily on the rise
Sustainable packaging has almost unlimited growth potential and is seeing massive private investment, and we should leverage that market to curb both pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

The ones I use were made locally, from cotton produced in this country so the threshold is way lower than 400.
To go one step further, make them yourself out of old cotton clothing.
