With the current trend, consumers often tend to choose sustainable, convenient and friendly products. Therefore, businesses, companies or shopping stores pay more attention to the production of shopping bags to meet the needs of users. So, what is the type of bag with the most optimal material? Do Non-Woven Fabric Bags ensure meeting all the criteria: convenience, safety, low cost and environmental friendliness?
Uses of paper bags and plastic bags
Plastic bags
Since their introduction in 1967, consumers use and favor widely plastic bags. Consumers use them almost everywhere, from households to shopping malls, restaurants, supermarkets, etc.
In fact, we all know the consequences that plastic bags cause to human health and the living environment. However, we cannot deny the practical benefits they bring in daily life. Plastic bags are more durable than paper bags, can be waterproof, and are easy to transport. They are used for many different purposes. Such as: containing goods, food, everyday items or as garbage bags, etc. In addition, with a variety of designs and colors, fashion and cosmetic stores also choose it as product bags for customers.
Paper bags
Paper bags are made from renewable and easily degradable materials – wood. They are environmentally friendly, with the characteristics of being compact and convenient, not inferior to plastic bags. Currently, paper bags are quite popular with consumers.
However, by a light, thin structure, we can only use paper bags 1-2 times. If exposed to water, the paper bag will crumble and tear. Therefore, it does not meet the durability that consumers are looking for.
For a long time, everyone has thought that paper bags will be more environmentally friendly than plastic bags. However, if we go deeper into the production process of this product, we will see more disadvantages of this type of bag.
Most paper bags today are produced from wood. So, to meet current consumer demand, we need a lot of paper, requiring the cutting down of a large number of trees. This depletes natural resources and causes an imbalance in the forest ecosystem.
In the process of recycling paper bags, a lot of bleach is needed to bleach the paper, and the separation of fibers is quite laborious. This process uses a lot of bleach to bleach, so if not handled well during the production and recycling process, it can cause environmental pollution. Therefore, we can see that the recycling process of paper bags goes through many stages, costs a lot of money and causes serious environmental pollution.
