Are Paper Bags REALLY Better Than Plastic? Read This To Find Out!

From Primark to McDonalds, brown paper bags are back in fashion. We always think of paper carrier bags as being biodegradable, recyclable, and compostable, and coming from a renewable source, but are these bags really a cheaper and greener option? Are they better for the environment than plastic? Let's find out.

You may have heard of the news that millions of trees are cut down every year in order to make these bags, and they are manufactured by heating wooden chips at high temperatures in a chemical solution - a process that can cause damage to the environment and lead to acid rain.

However, paper bags are much easier to recycle than plastic bags. According to research, these type of bags are partially manufactured from fibre or recycled paper, and some contain more than 35 percent of recycled material. When these bags are thrown away, they can be recycled again, while plastic shopping bags can clog machines and make the recycling process more difficult.

Paper carrier bags can be used again and again, and can be transported to paper mills in order to make new paper products. Paper gift bags also require less energy when being recycled and are safer for small children to play with.

In addition, many scientists believe that plastic bags pose a real threat to the environment. In fact, 200 different species of sea life (including whales, seals, and turtles) die because of plastic bags according to a World Wildlife Fund study in 2005. Because of this, paper is the preferred option.

The new legislation will also mean that retailers will have to charge at least 5p for plastic carrier bags or face a fine. The new rules - which start in England in October 2015 - won't affect small or medium-sized businesses, although many of these retailers might start using paper bags instead.

So there you have it. Now you know why paper bags are definitely a much better option than plastic bags. If you are looking for an online distributor, you should check out the products available from Shopping Bags Direct Ltd.

The Uses Of Shopping Bags

Okay, so no doubt there are some crazy uses for shopping bags.

Now, it is true that a lot of uses of cotton bags or jute shopping bags also apply to plastic ‘Bag For Life’ shopping bags. However, cotton and jute are made from natural products, they are naturally breathable, and because of their natural texture they lend themselves to a different range of uses.

Being breathable with natural fibres means that cotton and jute bags can be used to store books, dry food products, leather goods, and paper files with much less chance of sweating or mould. That’s a real plus over the plastic carrier bag. (Of course, being breathable doesn’t mean that young children should be allowed to play with cotton or jute bags without supervision, and extra care must be taken with children using plastic bags of all sorts.)

Why Reusable Shopping Bags Are Better For The Environment ?

“Mummy, why are these three for two chicken legs wrapped in plastic?”
“To keep them clean and fresh, darling. You don’t want to eat dirty food with lots of nasty bugs on it, now do you?”
“No, Mummy.” The little girl swings on the trolley handles. “But Mummy, why are these three for two chicken legs on a plastic tray?”
“Well, that’s to stop them getting crushed. You don’t want your food to be all bashed about and horrible, do you?”
“No, Mummy.” The little girl picks the pack out of the trolley and examines it carefully. “But Mummy, why are these three for two chicken legs on a plastic pad?”
“Well, that’s to mop up any blood.”
“Blood, Mummy? Have these chicken legs been alive? Can chicken legs run around on their own?”
“No, of course not. Now let Mummy get on with her shopping, there’s a good girl.”
At last, the checkout is in sight.
“Mummy, why is the nice lady putting our three for two chicken legs into a small plastic bag?”
“To keep them cool.”
“But it’s winter, Mummy.”
“Yes, well, it keeps the food clean and nice.”
“But the three for two chicken legs already are wrapped in plastic. And they’re on a plastic tray. And they’ve got a plastic pad to mop up any gooey, messy, bright red blood that might be oozing from these three for two chicken legs that used to be alive …”
“Just help Mummy put all these things in the bags, will you.”
“You mean, these five brand new plastic bags that the nice lady has just given us?”
“Yes! Now just help Mummy.”
The little girl pops tins and packets and sachets into the bags. Then the chicken legs come through the checkout. “Mummy, should I put these three for two chicken legs, that are wrapped in plastic, on a plastic pad, and in a plastic tray, and that the nice lady has already put into a small plastic bag, should I now put these three for two chicken legs into this big new plastic bag?”
“Yes. Just do as you are told.”
“Why, Mummy?”
“Why? Because I said so!”
“No, why all this throw-away wrapping? I can see we need to keep our three for two chicken legs clean. And I don’t want them to be crushed. And I don’t want to faint at the sight of any nasty, gooey, bright red blood. But, Mummy, why are they also in another small plastic bag, which will only get thrown in the bin, taken away by the refuse collectors, be deemed unrecyclable, and end up either incinerated, putting who-knows-what pollutants into the environment, or put into a landfill site, where it will stay for thousands of years? And then there are these big new plastic bags. Won’t they just end up blowing about the streets, or stuck in the branches of trees?”
“No, Mummy, always puts them in the bin.”
“So, they, too, only get thrown in the bin, taken away by the refuse collectors, be deemed unrecyclable, and end up either incinerated, putting who-knows-what pollutants into the environment, or put into a landfill site, where they will stay for thousands of years.” The little girl pauses, as if for effect, and notices she has an audience. “Wouldn’t it be better,” she says, “if we bought a Bag For Life for 10p and used it again and again, rather than throw away these five plastic carrier-bags?”
“Now that’s enough. Just be quiet. Mummy can’t think about all that just now.”
“That’s ninety-four pounds eighty-three pence, please,” says the nice lady on the till. “Your daughter certainly knows all about shopping bags and the environment. What a clever girl."
“Yes, well, she is a precocious child,” says Mummy. “In fact,” says Mummy, raising her voice and turning to smile to the people in the queue, “she’s just been assessed as Gifted and Talented.”
