Material Choices And Environmental Benefits Of Shopping Bags

Shopping bags are a crucial accessory for everyone since they have to be used as a primary means of carrying goods from engagements. However, the overreliance on these bags has caused more harm than good causing rethinking of the encasements. In this article, we will examine various material choices for shopping bags with an emphasis on the environmental merits of the changing materials.

Traditional Plastic vs Eco Friendly

Non biogradable or traditional paper and plastic-based shopping bags are made from oil-based products and may take hundreds of years in solid forms thereby causing pollution. But according to the above-mentioned approach, eco-friendly shopping bags can be made from such suitable recyclable materials as biodegradable plastics or polylactic acid PLA.

Biodegradable Plastics

The term biodegradable refers to materials that can be composted instead of being dumped into landfills. That is the thermoplastic selected can assist in minimizing wastage and pollution with regards to supermarket conundrum by implementing improved designs of shopping bags.

Polylactic Acid PLA

PLA is a thermoplastic that is engineered from corn starch. Being a starch-based, a compostable polymer such as PLA offers a relative degree of ease in replacement to petroleum-based plastics since it is vegetative rather than petrochemical.

Global Recycled Standard GRS 

The Global Recycled Standard GRS is a product certification scheme issued to products with recycled content assisting the eco-friendly manufacturer in a socially responsible production process. GRS standards for shopping bags are worth meeting, for they allow a degree of contribution to a cleaner environment.

plastics additives that make plastics molecules biodegradable. Incorporated within the shopping bags, these additives fasten the degradation rate of the bags thus shortening the time period within which the bags get decomposed.
