The debate of paper bags over the plastics is coming to an end.


Plastic bags and paper bags are way too commonly used as carriers in the form of shopping bags or grocery bags. Simple ones are thrown away at the nature’s disposal but the heavy duty ones are reused. There are even many cities and states where the use of plastic bags is completely banned. There have been measures to lift the ban, but as nature is the one for whom it is concerned, many bans are still prevalent.

Retail shopping has grown exponentially in the past few years since some large based departmental stores got debuted. With these stores starting to function, numerous products seem to have come up in the purchase arena. The bags provided there were also of a major concern. With this there rose a need to make the customers realize the importance of Popieriniai Maisai(paper bags) over the plastics. This later became a topic for debate in the world platform too. Of concern was exactly how to dispose off the 100 billion plastic packages that are produced per year in the US alone. According to the EPA, less than 2% end up being recycled, this became a threat for the nature. In an average household the people will go through over a thousand of plastic bags and paper bags in one calendar year, making its disposal a nightmare.

But with the paper bags getting replaced the scenario in the world market as well as nature changes. The reason is, even if the industries manufacturing these paper bags try their level best to reduce there cost by using the pulp or the useless forest twigs or even burnt wood for paper bags, the bags are safe. The only care required is when you pack cooked stuff or a food item; that is when the paper quality needs to be of an enhanced type. It is nowhere as toxic as the plastikiniai maiseliai(plastic bags), which are their oil-based counterparts. However the destruction of trees ca be taken care through regular afforestation.

This use and reuse of the paper bags can definitely help the streams from getting polluted and fishes from getting choked. The plastic oils that are liberated on the surface have been proved fatal since last some years. That is why there is an urgent requirement of the switch. With the broadened aspect of the people and wider set up individuals are ending up having their own paper bags for shopping.
