Hazards of non degradable garbage bags



Hazards of non degradable garbage bags


Most of the plastic bags are made of polyethylene, which is extremely difficult to degrade. The plastic bag was originally invented to solve the problem of people's frequent use of paper tape. At that time, too many paper bags were used, resulting in too many trees. It was originally out of good intentions, and the purpose of making plastic bags was to enable people to use and reuse them again and again, As a result, because of its low price and convenient access, it has become a disposable product in everyone's eyes.


According to relevant statistics, in 2018, the global plastic output reached 360 million tons, and China, as one of the largest plastic producers, accounted for about 25% of the global output. Among so many plastic products, about 15% of them are discarded every year, and many of them are buried underground as garbage. Because they are difficult to degrade and decompose, this land will not be used normally for decades or even hundreds of years.


Every year, many plastic bags enter the sea, rivers and other waters through various ways, which has a significant impact on aquatic organisms. According to statistics, plastic debris will cause the death of more than 1 million seabirds and more than 100000 marine mammals every year.


Therefore, since 2008, China has gradually strengthened the restrictions on the use of plastic bags, and at the same time, many countries have joined the ranks of plastic restrictions. For example, many supermarkets no longer need to pay the corresponding price for separate purchase. Even with the introduction of various relevant policies, the use of plastic bags has not been significantly improved, This is one of the reasons why the use of non degradable plastic bags will be banned in relevant places next year.


In fact, all kinds of bags, whether cloth bags or bags, will have all kinds of pollution to the environment. In terms of economy, plastic bags take the lead, so in a word, if you want to protect the environment. Whether paper bags, cloth bags or plastic bags can be reused to maximize its utilization, which is the best way to solve the problem of its use frequency from the root.
