Why are brown paper bags more environmentally friendly than plastic bags?

  If you often go shopping malls will find that the kraft paper bag in all walks of life in the application is very wide, such as we often go to clothing stores, shoe stores and so on is the most common use of kraft paper bags, even you will be in some fast food restaurants, beverage stores for packaging will also use the kraft paper bag. Compared with plastic bags, the cost of brown paper bags is higher. Why are so many enterprises willing to use brown paper bags? One of the reasons is that more enterprises attach importance to environmental protection and regard environmental protection as an integral part of corporate culture, so they choose more environmentally friendly and renewable paper bags instead of plastic bags.


  The rise of kraft paper bag in China can be said to start from 2006, that year, McDonald's China gradually introduced a kraft paper bag with thermal insulation performance to hold takeaway food in all its stores, to replace the use of plastic food bags. The move has also received a positive response from other retailers, such as Nike and Adidas, which used to be big consumers of plastic bags, to adopt high-quality kraft paper bags instead of plastic shopping bags.

  

  Of course, at present, there are still some people on the market to kraft paper environmental protection or there are different views, generally speaking, that kraft paper packaging is not environmentally friendly people mainly on the manufacturing process and raw material selection of kraft paper. They argue that the pulp in paper packaging is obtained by cutting down trees, causing damage to the ecological environment. Another main is that the paper in the production process will discharge a lot of sewage, resulting in water pollution.

  

  In fact, these views are a little one-sided and backward, now the big brands of kraft paper manufacturers generally adopt the integration of forest pulp production, that is, through scientific management will be in the forest area of the trees in the planting, to ensure that the ecology is not affected by destructive, take the road of sustainable development. And with the continuous development of science and technology, the waste water produced in the production process of kraft paper needs to be treated to meet the national discharge standards to allow discharge.
