We all saw a lot of stories about plastic garbage islands in the oceans. Many, after watching such frames, try to abandon plastic bags in favor of textile or paper. Yes, plastic does not really decompose, like organic materials by rotting. However, with proper disposal, environmental damage from synthetic materials is much lower than from natural production.

If we analyze the production of plastic and natural containers, taking into account the full cycle: from obtaining raw materials to final product output, it becomes clear that cotton is far from being as harmless as it seems. To grow a good cotton crop, one has to resort to the use of fertilizers and pesticides. Its processing requires production facilities that pollute the air and have a high carbon footprint (affect the ozone layer). A large amount of water is used in the manufacturing process.

If plastic is recyclable and can be used as recyclable materials, then cotton and paper bags, for the most part, do not have a second life. In the best case, they get into the furnace of incineration plants, and in the worst, they go to the landfill (landfill).

In the process of research conducted by the Danish Ministry of Ecology and Nutrition, scientists found that a paper bag is 40 times more harmful to the environment, and a cotton bag - 20,000 times, compared with a plastic product (subject to the main condition - recycling).

A few more advantages in favor of plastic bags:

• due to the high price of oil - the main raw material for plastics - plastic manufacturing plants operate with a minimum amount of waste. In other words, the manufacturer optimally uses raw materials, reducing production waste to almost zero. While the production of paper and textiles always implies the presence of insoluble dry sediment, which is transported to the landfill;
• profitability of logistics. The weight and volume of 1000 bags of polyethylene is much less than paper and textile. Accordingly, more goods can be transported in one flight, which saves fuel and reduces the amount of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere..

Quality packaging from LLC "Company" Chernigov Package"

In order to reduce the environmental burden of using plastic on the environment, you need to properly operate it. You should not throw away a whole bag just because it is no longer needed at the moment. Take it with you the next time you go shopping. A double-used plastic bag increases its environmental friendliness several times with respect to paper and fabric. When the container becomes unusable, do not throw it away with household waste, sort the garbage.

We care about the environment, so high-quality packages that can be ordered on our website will not break after the first application.

Our company has launched a line for the production of reusable spunbond grocery bags, a material that is subject to subsequent processing, and according to the study, gives a good perspective for the environment.
