Availability of degradable plastic bags

1. Environmental protection, no waste
Now the global temperature is rising, and people are suffering from it. They pay more and more attention to environmental protection. Many people will choose their own cloth bags or shopping baskets when shopping in supermarkets. But sometimes when I forget to bring it, I have to use the shopping bag of the supermarket. Every time I go shopping, I bring back a shopping bag. As a result, I have a lot of useless bags at home and have to throw them away. They are not only wasteful but also very environmentally friendly. It is different with degradable plastic bags. The use of such shopping bags is not afraid of accumulation, because even if they are thrown into the trash can, such shopping bags can be degraded and recycled, and will not waste resources.
2. It is degradable and degrades faster without polluting the environment
One of the biggest disadvantages of plastic shopping bags is that they are hazardous waste and cannot be degraded, which will pollute the environment and be harmful to the soil. The more people use plastic shopping bags, the more people produce such harmful waste, which is a great harm to the environment. The use of degradable plastic bags has no such problem. Such shopping bags can be degraded less than a week after being discarded. The degradation speed is very fast and will not pollute the environment.
3. High cost performance
Some people may say that the cost of degradable plastic shopping bags must be higher than that of ordinary plastic shopping bags. How can the cost performance ratio be higher. In fact, as an enterprise, the cost considered is not only the product cost, but also the brand cost of the enterprise. With ordinary plastic shopping bags, although the cost of the bag is low, it still needs to pay to maintain the corporate image. The use of degradable plastic shopping bags can naturally improve the corporate brand image. Therefore, the cost of using degradable plastic shopping bags is lower.
Hazards caused by plastic bags that cannot be recycled and degraded?
The pollution of plastic bags is too serious. Most plastic bags are made of petroleum, which is harmful to human health. Ignition will produce toxic gas, and it will take more than 200 years to be buried underground to decay. Plastic bags do bring convenience to our life, but this temporary convenience brings long-term harm The recycling value of plastic bags is relatively low. In addition to the "visual pollution" pollution caused by scattering in urban streets, tourist areas, water bodies, highways and railways, plastic bags also have potential hazards. The plastic structure is stable, not easy to be degraded by natural microorganisms, and it will not be separated in the natural environment for a long time. This means that if the waste plastic waste is not recycled, it will become a pollutant in the environment, which will permanently exist and continue to accumulate, and will cause great harm to the environment. First, it will affect agricultural development. Waste plastic products are continuously accumulated in the soil, which will affect the absorption of nutrients and water by crops, leading to crop yield reduction. Second, it poses a threat to the survival of animals. Discarded waste plastic products on land or in water bodies are swallowed by animals as food, leading to animal death. Last year, nearly 1000 sheep were killed by 20 herdsmen along the Qinghai Lake, causing economic losses of more than 300000 yuan. Sheep like to eat oily residues wrapped in plastic bags, but they often eat them together with plastic bags. Because the plastic they eat stays in their stomachs for a long time and is difficult to digest, the stomachs of these sheep are full, and they can no longer eat, and they can only starve to death. Such things are common in zoos, pastoral areas, rural areas and oceans. Third, waste plastics will not only occupy a lot of land with landfills, but also the occupied land will not be restored for a long time, affecting the sustainable use of land. If the waste plastic products entering the domestic garbage are buried, they will not be degraded for 200 years. It will do great harm to the land, change its pH, affect the absorption of nutrients and water by crops, and lead to agricultural production reduction. As for plastic products abandoned in water or on land, it will not only affect the environment, but also lead to death if swallowed passively. This will destroy the ecological balance. Fourthly, high temperature decomposes toxic substances. Plastic products have no toxic substances. However, because of the imperfect equipment and simple process for recycling, and many manufacturers do not have legal business licenses, toxic substances will be released and infiltrated into food when the temperature of the reproduced plastic products reaches 65 ℃, which will harm the liver, kidney, reproductive system, central nervous system and other important parts of the human body. Multi purpose environment-friendly plastic bags, GRS plastic bags, or recyclable plastic bags refer to the plastic bags that meet customer requirements, meet internationally recognized environmental standards, and are truly recyclable. They are important products of environment-friendly packaging bags.
GRS (Global Recycled Standard) is an international, voluntary and comprehensive product standard, which stipulates the third-party certification requirements for recycling content, production and marketing chain of custody, social and environmental events and chemical restrictions. The goal of GRS is to increase the use of recycled materials in products and reduce and eliminate the hazards caused by their production. Nowadays, GRS is detonated by major brands in the entire industrial chain, which is related to all supply chains.
Then dispose of used plastic bags?
Post consumer recycled plastic bags: materials produced by households or commercial, industrial and institutional facilities as end product users that can no longer be used for their intended purposes. Includes materials recovered from the distribution chain. That is, plastic bags that are recycled after consumption by consumers.
Pre consumer recycled plastic bags: materials transferred from the waste stream during the manufacturing process. The reuse of some materials, such as rework, regrinding or residual materials generated in processing and reused in the same processing process, shall be excluded. That is, plastic bags that are recycled without consumer consumption.
Regeneration ratio: the proportion of recycled materials in the product or package by mass. Only pre consumer and post consumer materials are considered as traditional commercial recycled materials with recycled content. Because of their unstable quality and poor physical properties, most of them are lower than the price of new materials, and their performance is also worse than that of new materials. In order to meet the requirements of brand customers and meet internationally recognized environmental standards (such as GRS), GRS certified recyclable plastic bags have more stable quality and better performance than traditional recycled plastic bags.
1. Let garbage be recycled again, so as not to develop too much resources and reduce environmental pollution.
2. It is proved that plastic packaging bags can be recycled, because GRS is the traceability certification and the most credible proof of recyclable packaging bags.
4. All certified products have standard recycled material content identification, providing reference for the next step of recycling.
5. Improve the market competitiveness of enterprises in terms of "green" and "environmental protection", and be more easily recognized by renewable enterprises.
6. GRS certification has more protection for employees. Employees are an important asset of the enterprise and an inexhaustible driving force for enterprise progress.
