Polypropylene bags or plastic bags??


As we go round the world, we see only plastic products.  It will not be wrong to say that world is addicted to plastic.  Everyone knows the bad side of polythene usage, but still it is been used lavishly.  This is what exactly addiction means. But, it is on the person to make it a habit or fight against it.  Today, the world has decided to fight against this addiction and so many other better eco-friendly options are so been found.

 The question arises why the polythene are so widely used?  Well, it is due to its great flexibility, Strength, easily accommodated, and many more along with its disadvantage of non-biodegradability.  However, if the same properties are found in other product then it can be used on the place of polythene.  These days, a new name polypropylene bag has gained lots of attention. Polypropylene bags are very affordable and available at very Low cost.  They are Flexible and high strength.  These bags have persistent durability. To make polypropylene bags more attractive it is been printed and it can be printed on both sides.  It can be stored in an open area due to its great UV-stability, up to 6 months Polypropylene bags are water and dust proof due to its inner polyethylene liners or lamination; hence, packed materials are protected from outside humidity.  Nowadays, twisted weave and anti-skid prints are done over it so as to prevent it from slipping.  And the most important of all the polypropylene bags are fully recycled.

Due to its so great properties, it is been used in packaging of almost every thing.  Polypropylene bags are used in packaging of chemical, fertilizers, cement, minerals, urea, resins, polymers, and rubbers.  Also it is used in packaging of food products such as sugar, salt, vegetables, fruits, etc.  Nowadays, it is used in packaging of mails, letters or documents.  Polypropylene bags are widely used in the packaging of those products which need to be protected from the moisture.

The packaging supplies take due care of the type of polypropylene they are using for packaging.  Nowadays, the woven bags and racks are also been used.  The strength and quality measure of the polypropylene is done in the first step only.  All this, is the primary duty of the packaging supplies people.  If the world around us is doing so much for us, then we should also join them in saving our planet earth.

  1. Using recycled products are beneficial for maintaining the ecological balance. I prefer to have the jute bags or clothing bags, but they are not available at all stores, so i prefer to use the reusable poly bags. They are eco-friendly as well as lasts longer.
    Their flexibility, Strength, easily accommodated features makes them widely used all over the globe. But, due to it's non-biodegradability, it is the most harmful thing we all are using in our daily life.
