What Are The Misunderstandings About Non-woven Eco-friendly Bags

Non woven shopping bags are non woven fabrics made of plastic. Many people think that cloth is a natural material, but it is actually a misconception. The commonly used raw materials for non-woven fabrics are polypropylene (PP, commonly known as polypropylene fiber) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET, commonly known as polyester). The raw material for plastic bags is polyethylene, and although the names of the two substances are similar, their chemical structures are very different. The chemical molecular structure of polyethylene has strong stability and is extremely difficult to degrade, so it takes 300 years for plastic bags to decompose completely; The chemical structure of polypropylene is not strong, and the molecular chains can easily break, which can effectively degrade and enter the next environmental cycle in a non-toxic form. A non-woven shopping bag can be completely decomposed within 90 days. Essentially, polypropylene (PP) is a typical type of plastic, and its environmental pollution after disposal is only 10% of that of plastic bags.
On December 31, 2007, the government officially issued a "plastic ban order" for the rapid promotion and popularization of non-woven bags. However, many problems have been discovered with the current usage situation:
1. Many enterprises print patterns on non-woven bags to reduce costs, which poses great harm to human health. I have discussed in other topics whether the printing of environmentally friendly bags is environmentally friendly.
2. The large distribution of non-woven bags has led to some households having more non-woven bags than plastic bags, which is a waste of resources if not used
3. In terms of texture, non-woven fabrics are not environmentally friendly because they are made of polypropylene and polyethylene, which are difficult to degrade, just like plastic bags. The reason why they are promoted as environmentally friendly is because their thickness is higher than plastic bags, their toughness is strong, and they are conducive to repeated use. They can be recycled and reused. This type of fabric bag is suitable for companies that are not very strong, and they want to promote environmental protection as a replacement for plastic and paper bags in the past. At exhibitions Free distribution for event promotion is also very practical, but the effect is directly proportional to the style and quality of the product you make. If it is too poor, be careful not to use it as a garbage bag by others.
