As its name suggests, virgin materials are new and have not been used before. Recycle material has been used in the past and is now recycled to make trash bags. What are the properties of these two materials and which one should you use? Let’s consider their pros and cons:
Which one is better for you?
If durability is your main concern
Garbage bags come in different thicknesses, and they need to be more durable because they have to carry more load. The durability of recycled material depends on the type of reprocessing it undergoes. As it has been used before, it does not have the same durability as virgin materials. Durability directly affects the safety factor, so virgin materials will be safer than recycled materials.
Environmental impact and cost
One of the most benefits of switching to trash bags made from recycled plastic is the ability to reduce carbon emissions, greenhouse emissions and reduce landfill waste. Despite the many benefits of remanufacturing products, manufacturers must carefully evaluate whether these recycled plastics are suitable to meet their product requirements.
Pricing of recycled plastic bags can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the type of plastic used, processing method, and manufacturing region. In general, recycled plastic bags are cheaper than virgin plastic bags due to lower raw material costs.
In conclusion
While it’s tempting to think that recyclable trash bags are better, that’s not always true. Depending on the criteria you want to aim for, decide whether to use pure garbage bags or switch to recycled bags.
