The Importance Of Paper Bags
Paper bags have amazing advantages when it comes to being environmentally friendly. They are committed to creating a more sustainable world because ......
They are natural and biodegradable.
They are reusable and recyclable.
Their raw materials come from sustainably managed forests.
They store carbon dioxide.
"The environmental logos created by Paper Bags help companies demonstrate their environmental responsibility, promote the sustainability of paper bags, and share them with consumers.
The raw material for paper - cellulose fibers derived from wood - is a renewable and growing natural resource. Because of their natural properties, they degrade when they fall into nature by mistake. When natural water-based pigments and starch-based binders are used, paper bags do not harm the environment.
Due to the long and strong virgin cellulose fibers used in paper bags, they have a high mechanical strength. Due to their good quality and design, paper bags can be reused many times. In a four-part video series consisting of paper bags, the reusability of paper bags was severely tested. The same paper bag can be used four times, can withstand a weight of about 8 kg or more, and can also withstand wet, sharp-edged shopping items, as well as the bumps and bumps in daily transport. After four trips, it even has another use. The paper bag's long fibers also make it a good source for recycling. By 20201, Europe had the highest recycling rate in the world at 73.9%. 56 million tons of paper were recycled, or 1.8 tons per second! Paper bags and paper sacks are part of this cycle. A recent study shows that paper packaging can be recycled even more than 25 times before it is converted to bioenergy or composted at the end of its life cycle. Recycling paper means reducing pollution emissions from landfills.
In Europe, most of the raw cellulose used to produce paper bags comes from sustainably managed European forests. They are extracted from the processing waste of the tree logging and sawmill industries. Each year, more wood is grown in European forests than is cut down. From 1990 to 2020, Europe's forest area increases by 9% to 227 million hectares. This means that more than a third of Europe is covered by forests Sustainable forest management maintains biodiversity and ecosystems and provides habitat, recreational areas and employment opportunities for wildlife. Forests have enormous potential to mitigate climate change as they grow.
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen as they grow. From 2010 to 2020, the average annual carbon sequestration in the European region amounts to 155 million tons. In EU-28.4, carbon sequestration is equivalent to about 10% of total greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, paper, as a wood product, continues to store carbon throughout its lifetime. When we recycle paper, this carbon sequestration time is extended. Therefore, paper bags are effective in combating climate change.
