The advantages of Paper Bags

2022-09-19

The Paper Bags have created an environmental symbol to help companies demonstrate their environmental responsibility, promote the sustainability credentials of paper bags and share them with consumers.

Paper bags have a lot of advantages in terms of environmental friendliness. They work to create a more sustainable world because ...
  • they are natural and biodegradable
  • they are reusable and recyclable
  • their raw material is sourced from sustainably managed forests
  • they store carbon dioxide (CO2)

 
Since we use cellulose fibre extracted from wood as the raw material in papermaking, paper bags are able to degrade when they mistakenly end up in nature.
A recent study suggests that paper-based packaging can even be recycled more than 25 times before it is turned into bioenergy or being composted at the end of its life cycle. Recycling paper means reducing polluting emissions produced by landfill sites.
Sustainable forest management maintains biodiversity and ecosystems and provides a habitat for wildlife, recreational areas and jobs. Forests have an enormous potential to mitigate climate change when they grow.

Trees absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and emit oxygen when they grow. As a wood product, paper continues to store carbon throughout its lifetime. This carbon sequestration time is extended when we recycle the paper. Thus, paper bags are effective against climate change.
