A growing number of public use these bags. However,Reusable Bags should not become Disposable Consumer Goods Articles are the bags really friendly to our environment?With the increasing amount of reusable bags issued, many consumers are no longer re-using these environmentally friendly products, but to turn them into disposable consumer goods. The larger number of reusable bags in the hands of consumers issues, the lower environmental benefits they get. Not difficult to find in the mall, nearly half of all the clothing and footwear goods on the bag counter to consumers. Many consumers have a lot of these bags at home and never use them. However, these reusable bags directly come into the trash.In addition, there are some consumers think that, they throw away the bags are all bags will not pollute the environment. In fact, the degradation of bags is conditional, if consumers use it as a single product, may still impact on the environment. Non-woven durable, reusable, from this point is relatively environmentally friendly, non-woven fabrics in the production process, but a lot of energy, some also contain additives harmful to the environment, waste of resources on the environment is difficult In the course of future compensation back.The reason why reusable bags, and not only because of the production, circulation and consumption process of zero-emission, zero-energy. Instead, making a bag need the textile materials and chemical raw materials. According to industry experts, is now on the market with some bags made of polypropylene, polypropylene is a non-easily degradable polypropylene fiber, such as when the temperature will release harmful substances. Therefore, the authorities should strictly control the production of bags and shipped off, do not let those bags become new sources of pollution.In fact, the real significance of reusable bags is that, it is environmentally friendly consumers reuse. How to make bags with them again? The most fundamental thing is to control the release of the amount of bags. If issued without restraint, the flow of nonwoven bags on the market will become a one-time product. The environmental value of bags is likely to be zero, in severe cases may even become negative.Therefore, establishing a distribution mechanism is proposed for making the reusable bags recycling in every household. Alone in the accumulation of excess bags, you can turn to the neighborhood and other organizations, to focus on recycling or paid "lease." Businesses can recycle their shop bags, disinfection for reuse.At the same time, you can also learn from foreign experience. For example, in Korea, shopping, no matter how expensive you at the mall to buy things, shopping bags will not be presented, if the guests do not bring their own bags, it would take 100 won to buy environmentally friendly paper bags or plastic bags. Recovery of these bags will store the original price. Customers can also take old bags to store or supermarket replacing use the new bags.In addition, the design and production of reusable bags also should become reasonable. Most consumers believe that, due to unpractical of reusable bags, they can just be used in putting some clean goods with some individually wrappers. The relevant text can also be printed on the bags to encourage consumers to re-use them.Source:http:// www.cnmhc.com
