There are several important reasons for using degradable bags:
First, environmental protection
Reduce white pollution: Traditional plastic bags are mostly made of non-degradable materials, difficult to decompose in the natural environment, will exist for a long time and cause serious pollution to soil, water and so on. The degradable bag can be decomposed by microorganisms under certain conditions, and will not accumulate for a long time like traditional plastic bags, thus effectively reducing white pollution.
Protect the ecosystem: After non-degradable plastic bags enter the natural environment, they may be eaten by animals, resulting in animal injury or even death. The use of degradable bags can reduce this risk and protect wildlife and the balance of the ecosystem.
2. Sustainable use of resources
Save oil resources: Traditional plastic bags are mainly produced with oil as raw materials. With the increasing tension of oil resources, the use of degradable bags can reduce the dependence on oil resources and promote the sustainable use of resources.
Lower carbon emissions: The production process of degradable bags is generally more environmentally friendly than traditional plastic bags and produces relatively few carbon emissions. At the same time, the degradable bag will not release a large amount of greenhouse gases when it decomposes in the natural environment, which helps to reduce carbon emissions and cope with climate change.
Third, policy promotion
Compliance with environmental regulations: In order to protect the environment, many countries and regions have formulated strict environmental regulations, limiting or prohibiting the use of non-degradable plastic bags, and encouraging the use of environmentally friendly products such as degradable bags. Businesses and consumers using biodegradable bags can avoid penalties for violating environmental regulations.
Promoting industrial upgrading: Promoting the use of degradable bags can promote the development of environmental protection industry, promote related enterprises to increase research and development investment, improve the performance of degradable materials and production technology level, and achieve industrial upgrading and sustainable development.
Fourth, social responsibility
Improve public awareness of environmental protection: The use of degradable bags can convey the concept of environmental protection to the public and improve the public’s attention and sense of responsibility for environmental protection. Consumers choose degradable bags, but also to contribute to the protection of the environment.
Establish a good image of the enterprise: The use of degradable bags as packaging materials can show its commitment to environmental protection and social responsibility, and enhance the brand image and competitiveness of the enterprise.
