Reusable bags are packaging bags that are usually made from plastic and are used typically for lunch or snack packaging. Reusable or resealable bags are an innovative concept to follow through with considering our environmental crises, global warming. Below are a couple of reasons for you to consider using resealable and reusable bags.
By reusing your resealable bag, you’re saving landfill space. Many landfills are filled with reusable materials that take decades to decompose and release CO2emissions while decomposing.
Thousands of animals die yearly from ingesting plastic that was polluted or that flew away from landfills near to the sea, dams and lakes. These plastic bags can also be contaminated, and end up contaminating the water it lands in, which kills many animals and people who get water from these places.
Despite being highly recyclable, not many people recycle plastic because they aren’t compensated for it. So most plastic end up in landfills or polluting the environment.
The average reusable bag has a lifespan equal to more than 690 disposable plastic bags. This means that you’ll use much less plastic bags if you commit to using reusable plastic bags.
One person using reusable bags over their lifetime would remove more than 20,000 plastic bags from the environment. That would reduce landfill space by a significant amount.
Plastic bags don’t biodegrade, but they break down through photo degradation. Therefore, when photo degradation and decomposition through exposure to light happens, the plastic bag breaks down into small, toxic particles.
Most shopping centres and stores now have customers pay 50cfor a plastic bag. Using a reusable bag or plastic will save you tons of money. Seeing the amount of money you’re spending on plastics yearly might make you appreciate resealable and reusable plastics much more.
