Banning Plastic
Is Not the Whole Answer
Better waste management is central to addressing the problems associated with plastic bags. The three Rs — reduce, reuse and recycle — offer a practical approach.
Reuse
Replacing a plastic bag with another material is not the whole solution. Paper also requires responsible handling and may take up space or break down slowly in landfill.
Consider the Life Cycle
Understanding a bag’s impacts and benefits requires considering its whole life cycle: raw material extraction, production, transport, use, reuse, recycling and final disposal.
Recycle
Environmental impact depends on the material, how often a bag is reused and how it is managed at the end of its life. Every material needs an appropriate collection and disposal route.
Whether packaging is plastic, paper, woven fabric, nonwoven or cotton, how long we use it matters. Remembering to bring a bag when shopping is a practical step towards reducing consumption.
“BRING YOUR OWN BAG” is a message we support at Packetcim Packaging.
