Use Plastic bags or the paper bags? Still a question!!



In many countries the government is heading towards the policy of getting the use of the plastic bags reduced. They have started with banning them in huge retail stores and malls where shopping is done in very large amount. But plastic bags cannot be avoided or stopped using. These bags have properties of being waterproof which allows them to still be in the market for use in particular items.

The malls are giving you bags of paper but if you get out shopping your best clothes and footwear you bought for your date or bought some fruits and veggies for your kids back home and suddenly it starts raining of a car splashes past you, it becomes difficult to hold the stuffs you brought without getting spoiled but run home as soon as possible to evacuate them. This might have been prevented if you were holding a plastic bag with your desired contents inside.

Anyhow the paper bags also have never lost their charm in the industry and market. These bags are in existence since the 1800s. The inventor Francis Wolle should be thanked for his innovative thought as an appropriate thing which could solve the difficulty of people carrying their items back home. So since those years it was studied that the people had a sole rescuer in the form of paper bags.

They were used everywhere to cover up the necessary items of their needs to carry and hold. Later did styles and ways of bags changed when the world started accepting more of stylish packets other than the simple ones. But their styling and molding come up as a hindrance in packers as they get restricted to shape them and print on them while on the plastic bags they can be assured of the prints and labels while can have it on for longer time as well.

Plastic bags have seen the world just in the recent times. Another great thing about plastic is, similar sized plastic bags can carry as many items compared to that of a paper bag. There is no danger of it getting broken apart exposing your fiasco. So the paper bags tend to tear and cannot behold much weight here the plastic bags win.

The plastic bags though are harmful due to their chemical consistencies but it should be seen that they are not in immediate contact of the kids and are not burnt in open air.
