Why we use eco-friendly bags

Biodegradable bags are a convenient alternative to traditional polythene bags and cause less pollution or damage to the environment. Traditional polythene will degrade - i.e. break down into smaller and smaller molecules - over time but this process takes a lot longer than the time it takes for biodegradable materials to break down when they come into contact with microorganisms.

Therefore, biodegradable packaging takes less time to break down from the full product to nothing, which means they take up less valuable space in landfill sites, thereby creating less of a long term impact on the environment.

The argument for using eco-friendly bags is represented for many by the common 'single use' plastic carrier bag or traditional thin carrier, often handed out in shops and supermarkets across the UK.

Whilst the term 'single use' is, in itself, a misnomer and one that potentially contributes to the problem of plastic bag waste - there is, after all, no reason why a 'single use' carrier bag can't be used more than once, thus lessening its impact on the environment - the extremely high use of thin carrier bags in everyday life sums up the argument that many people make against the use of polythene packaging.

There is no denying that plastic bags create a lot of waste and, even though this represents less than 1% of household waste in the UK*, most of this waste ends up in landfill sites.

* Source: WRAP - Waste & Resources Action Programme

Whilst most carriers bags today are made from recycled polythene, the material (polymers) that these bags are made from, such as polythene and polypropene, are unable to be broken down by microorganisms and therefore take longer to break down in landfill sites than biodegradable alternatives.

So if you use a biodegradable carrier bag to do your shopping, you can console yourself with the fact that you are doing your bit for the environment and, when that bag eventually gets disposed of, it will take longer to become one with the earth than a traditional polythene alternative.

But, perhaps just as importantly, whatever bag you use - make sure you don't throw it away after using it when it's still perfectly capable of being used again.

Remember people - there is no such thing as a 'single use' carrier bag!

Degradable and biodegradable - what's the difference?

"What's the difference between a biodegradable product and a degradable product?" we hear you ask. Both degradable and biodegradable materials are both used to make packaging today, so why is biodegradable packaging supposed to be so much better to use than normal degradable packaging?

Well, let's first take a look at the definition of each word:

degradable (adjective) - Capable of being degraded. spec. Susceptible to chemical or biological degradation.

biodegradable (adjective) - Of a substance or object (esp. refuse or a potential pollutant): able to be broken down and decomposed by the action of living organisms (esp. bacteria), or their metabolic or biochemical processes

So both a degradable packaging and biodegradable packaging, when disposed of, will break down over time into smaller and smaller pieces. Sounds like there's not much a difference between the two then? Well, that's where you're wrong.

The key difference between biodegradable and degradable materials is that natural organisms and bacteria will break down a biodegradable product much faster than oxygen, moisture, heat and/or light will break down a degradable product.

So if you throw away two plastic bags - one biodegradable, the other degradable - at the same time and in similar conditions, then the biodegradable bag will break down into biomass, water and carbon dioxide significantly faster than the degradable bag.

For the biodegradable product, the biodegradation process might take just a few weeks or months, while a degradable bag will take many years to degrade fully.

Faster degradation leads to less time in landfill sites, which saves space, energy and cost, hence why biodegradable bags are the eco-friendly alternative to degradable packaging.

Posts Tagged ‘Jiffy bags’

Look at it this method. Today, and for countless years previously, pretty much any story about Le Tour de United Kingdom in specific, and professional cycling in normal, is prefaced with something or other about doping, (and now it’s Jiffy bags). Something or other about proper, perceived or suspected doping. Fair enough. Pro cyclists only have themselves to blame. Why, oh why didn’t Team Sky simply come clean on the Jiffy bag? It stinks. However, my issue – and my point – is not centred on this. The response to which I refer above, effectively continued the ‘all cyclists cheat’ mantra, thereby bolstering all the associated negative undertones, while simultaneously condoning the fact that ‘all footballers cheat’ and confirming that none certainly cares. This is the crux of my bemusement above our double standards. Imagine if all story about X football team were prefaced with a reminder that they only won the FA Cup in 20XX because their striker Y feigned injury in the penalty area in the 94th small. Perhaps they’d also managed to have their opponents’ top defender sent off following a bit of devious play-acting in the 13th small (evidence of which was there for all to see on the video replay). This kind of stuff is routine. This is cheating. We are collectively fine with that. Indeed, we applaud it. It’s bloody strange. Well, I think it’s bloody strange.

Plastic Envelopes Plastic envelopes are flat laying pouches or baggies that are normally manufactured with an adhesive edge for secure closure purposes. Used broadly in the mailing world to send a assortment of correspondence like magazines, brochures, catalogs and newspapers, plastic envelopes are an alternate option to shipping these items in rigid cartons or carton boxes , and are also known as poly mailers or poly mailer bags. The pouches can be one layer of plastic, or an outer layer of plastic with a protective interior layer like bubble-wrap. Within the mail application, plastic envelopes are particularly useful as a tamper-proof method of transporting contents like currency, legal documents or other private information for which the sender requires secure transportation. For short-term protective and mailing requirements, a permanent adhesive strip can be placed on one side of the plastic envelope, or plastic mailer. Once the permanent adhesive edge is sealed, the contents inside are protected until the envelope is torn open and ruined, at which point tampering is evident. This feature protects against contents being viewed or adjusted while in transit. Using a plastic envelope with a re-sealable side does not have the tamper-proof benefit, nevertheless rather it gives the option of opening and resealing the envelope several times and can be used for less confidential purposes. Plastic envelopes are typically manufactured from transparent polypropylene or polyethylene for visibility purposes, or white plastic for privacy purposes, and are used because of their durability. The lightweight properties of polyethylene or polypropylene make the plastic envelopes cheaper to mail, particularly above long distances, than heavier carton or corrugated boxes. Plastic is also more flexible than carton and so is able to be used to package a wide assortment of objects which can then be transported more efficiently due to saving shipping space. Paper envelopes are another commonly used postage container, nevertheless as plastic is more heavy-duty than paper, plastic envelopes are used to mail contents that require slightly more protection. Plastic is water resistant, providing further guard against damage from the elements amid transportation, and potentially saving money from potential product loss amid transport. The plastic pouches are typically manufactured through a process of co-extrusion, and so are also known as co-ex plastic mailers. Plastic envelopes can be left plain, or custom printed with a company emblem or description, or with a template for handwritten content information. Some companies may also offer labeling services, particularly for mailing purposes. Plastic Envelopes - Associated Bag Plastic Envelopes - Associated Bag Plastic Envelopes

2. Environmentalists are criticising packaging suppliers's use of plastic mailers for deliveries, which can not be recycled in curbside recycling bins. The retailer started utilising the plastic sacks instead of boxes to cut down on the size of shipments, allowing it to fit more deliveries in its trucks. Lisa Sepanski, project manager for King County Solid Waste Division, which oversees recycling in the country where packaging suppliers is based, told The Washington Post that packaging suppliers's new packaging "suffers from the same problems as plastic bags, which are not sortable in our recycling system and acquire caught in the machinery." An packaging suppliers spokeswoman said the company still curbed its packaging waste by above 20 percent globally last year. - WAPO

Eco-friendly packaging

Biodegradable packaging - i.e. packaging made from biodegradable polymers - is sometimes known as 'eco-friendly packaging' or 'eco-packaging'.

If you take the traditional polymers (molecules) used to make traditional polythene and add particular chemicals to these polymers, you can create biodegradable polymers that can be broken down by microorganisms.

These polymers can then be used make biodegradable polythene, which can in turn be used to make biodegradable packaging, or eco-packaging.

Eco-friendly packaging is created using a range of biodegradable polymers, including starch- or bacteria-based polymers or blends, water-soluble polymers, oxo-biodegradable polymers or photodegradable polymers.

Eco-friendly packaging has been a popular alternative to traditional polythene packaging for a number of years and can be found, amongst others, in the form of carrier bags, bin liners, refuse bags, compost bags, dog poop bags and other waste bags.
