Bag Cycling

In search of green grocery bag

How much and what materials reusable paper, plastic, cloth bags and keep it really depends largely the life cycle of the bag, Fox news reports today. A life cycle analysis of a stock following each commodity market through the production and distribution and the consumer's hands and says a lot about the kind of impact in bags of all kinds in the environment. A life cycle analysis also takes into account if a bag is reused, recycled or thrown away.

Canvas Totes: Some retailers and manufacturers choose to design a reusable bag made of fabric (usually made of cotton) in polyethylene bags, custom printed, because of the machines involved, however, the cotton cultivation process is extremely fuel fossil-intensive and according to the Pesticide Action Network North America (PANNA), conventionally grown cotton uses more insecticides than any other single crop. Worldwide, cotton is responsible for 25 percent of all chemical pesticides (insecticides, fungicides and herbicides) used in U.S. crops. Chemical fertilizers are used to enrich the soil. Most grocery bags are woven cotton outside the U.S. where labor is cheaper, but increases fossil fuel use in getting them from the factory to American shores. Obviously, analysis of the life cycle of reusable cloth bags does not sound too green.

Paper bags: The process for the manufacture of paper bags is also far from ideal, huge recording machines, distance, and trees pulp. The whole process of paper production is highly dependent on chemicals, electricity and fossil fuels. For the role of credit in the industry, however, says he has been working to make the process cleaner and more efficient.

Plastic bags: Surprisingly, the plastic may be greener than paper. The EPA reports that the production of paper bags generates 70 percent more air pollution and pollution 50 times more water than the manufacture of plastic bags. The former also consume more energy and generates more solid waste.

Many manufacturers of plastic bags ethane gas pulling natural gas through a process of heat and pressure, ethane is converted into long chains of hydrogen and carbon that can form in polyethylene and then in plastic bags as a process commonly regarded as a much more efficient than the paper mill.

The same goes for plastic bags are at the top? What happens when the three types of bag are placed in the trash? For most purposes, it's all about space, and the EPA indicates nearly 100 landfills across the country nearly every year because they are filled, every little bit saved counts.

Plastic bags in the use generally much less landfill space of paper bags. As an example, you could put 10 000 plastic bags in the trunk of his car, but it would take a warehouse 10,000 bags of paper. And according to the American Chemistry Council, which requires 91 percent less energy to recycle a pound of plastic than it takes to recycle a pounds of paper.

So between the paper and plastic, which is the winner? Experts agree that each has its advantages and disadvantages and that the issue all packaging is mainly what the consumer does so after its initial use.
