Which is better for the environment paper or plastic?
what's perfect for the ecosystem is re-usable mesh bags. As you talked approximately, the two paper and plastic have their drawbacks. A bag you should use lower back and lower back lower back works lots extra appropriate. incredibly, there are some grocery shops which could charge 3 cents a bag only to get you to convey your guy or woman re-usables. -Dio
Both have good and bad points in the process of making them which more or less makes them equal. Both can be recycled but I think in that respect plastic comes out ahead....so that's what I use the most.
Paper. Paper is made from present day trees. Plastic is made from fossil fuels- long ago trees. Paper is still renewable. Plastic is not actually recyclable- it just hangs around forever.
Hi, Yoshee, my friend! :) Definitely, paper is good for the environment. Because, paper is a product of trees and it is a 100% natural product and 100% bio-degradable (hence, environment-friendly), provided it isn't bleached with elemental chlorine. Plastic is a synthetic product and in most cases, like polyethylene, nylon 66 etc., they are not bio-degradable. The only downside to using paper is that it involves cutting of tress. But, if you use bags, which are made of recycled paper, you are doing your part to save the environment. After use, don't incinerate paper and put it in the recycle bin (The municipal recycle bin, not the computer's, LOL), for the paper to be recycled. Thank you for the question. :)
