Talking about bags is a huge discussion because every time you begin you end up with something really new and useful. Plastic is being used for manufacturing bags since ages but yes new and new innovations are always been made with the passing years. Once there was a time when it was called the era of plastic. But much usage of plastic is also not good for environment as it does not degrade easily in the nature. As a result it has caused death of many animals in the past years. So the governments of many countries have restricted the usage of plastic bags.

 

After plastic, came the age of paper. But it also could last long as lot many trees were started to be cut. Paper comes from trees, and the pulpwood tree industry is large. It begins with logging, where select trees are found, marked, and felled. This process creates a tremendous scar in the forests natural habitat(s), for both plant and animal. It can take over a century for nature to recover from even a small logging operation. But the positive point of paper bags is they can be recycled again after using once. While in case of plastic bags, they are not biodegradable.

 

Being reusable means less waste of natural resources like oil and less carbon dioxide emissions that are produced during their manufacture. Plastic bags do not decompose. The sun photo degrades the bags, meaning that over time, the sun breaks down the plastic into smaller and smaller pieces. If you're wonder where paper comes from it's a good thing to know as it can help you choose the correct bags for your needs. Paper comes from tree pulp which is then squashed using a press to remove the excess liquid (water) and then the sheets are dried until forming into a solid state - you have your sheet of paper.

 

One of the wisest things to do with old paper bags is to take them with you when doing some shopping. Of course, you must first check for holes or tears before setting out. After paying for your purchased items, you can always ask the packaging counter to reuse these brown bags instead of using a new one. You can pay for shipping online. Providers must use trusted delivery services to keep the products free from damage. Returns should be available if there is tampering or damages when the bags reach the client.
