5 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Use Plastic Shopping Bags
Number of people on this planet, and ways to deal with our environment to suit us with ourselves, and have an unprecedented impact the natural world. One of the environmental sins that were clear for some time and plastic bags. People have been arguing about the benefits to the business sector and its impact on the environment for several decades now. In fact, it has been a long time that many people simply ‘bored’ of the debate! In fact, get rid of plastic shopping bags is one of the simplest things that can be done on a daily basis to help the environment. Today we look at the statistics that explain why the environmental bags are one of the main pillars of our natural protection in the world.
Extent of use of plastic bags in Australia
Committee hygiene Australia even states that Australians use more than 6 billion plastic bags annually. Do not … Million pounds. Which represents 272 bags a year, every one man, woman, child, toddler seriously in this country. Of all those bags consumed daily, only a small percentage are recycled (more on that later). Each year to clean up Australia Day, more than half a million plastic bags are collected from parks and waterways – a major source of garbage.
Oil and resources used in manufacturing
Are produced in plastic bags with ethylene, a byproduct of oil and gas. It is wonderful that the resource does not go to waste, but there is in fact the new factories being built all over the world to keep pace with the demand for polyethylene – it is not just providing a resource of the landfill. More than 50% of the world’s ethylene is used to make polyethylene, which in the first place to shopping bags, trash liners and packaging products. Can be polyethylene more effectively used to make long-term use of environmental bags for shopping.
The impact on wildlife
Wildlife throughout the world is already under intense pressure from the spread of human beings on this planet, which reduces the available environment. In addition to the problem of plastic bags, and many threatened species are another blow unnecessary. Turtles are particularly vulnerable to plastic bags in the environment. Turtles feed on jellyfish and plastic bags like these when you are floating in the ocean. Plastic bag does not break down in the stomach of a tortoise, anyway, but take every available room, starves to death. Upon the death of a turtle, the body decomposes more quickly than a plastic bag, and is released into the water to do the same thing to another animal. You will not see this happening with environmental bags!
The impact of landfill
Global estimates for the use of plastic bag is around 500 billion to a trillion every single year. Of these, are recycled only 14%, and ends with about 1-3% even in the waste stream out of the landfill – ie: Bridging the waterways and the stomachs of sea turtles and the corners are empty. This leaves between 415 and 830 billion plastic bags go to landfill each year. It takes between 3 months (for the bags compostable) for thousands of years to break this, unlike many other materials landfill.
Shopping bags are not recyclable – low-density polyethylene
Curly and the highest quality shopping bags – shiny, and less easily and slightly heavier bags that retailers give more exclusive contribution of its entire population to the landfill – it’s made from low density polyethylene, and can not be recycled.
Although we do not have the option in many cases in Australia, and paper shopping bags are a little better than plastic. They use gallons of water to create, in the bag, and recycling figures are similar across all media. The solution, of course, is to return to the old days, and making things environmental bags last … Such as.
