most countries all over the world have implemented the banning of
plastic bags because of the incessant growth of trash in the landfills
and oceans.
Environmental pollution has been a tremendous problem for
the past decades and plastic bags have found out to be one of the major
causes of air, land and water pollution.
In order to prevent this
social dilemma, environment-concerned associations and other
non-government organizations (NGOs) have united to fight against the
quandary
. The implementation of plastic bags ban was a big help to
promote a greener environment and to prevent illnesses to humans
particularly the consumers.
The banning of plastic bags to
supermarkets and department stores served as a driving force to bag
manufacturers to produce the reusable shopping bags that are proven safe
to humans and the environment.
When plastic bags were banned in
world market, the demand for reusable bags has eventually increased up
to 70 percent, which means there was a higher production compared to the
past years of bag manufacturing.
Manufacturers of reusable shopping
bags were known worldwide and this was their big advantage to gain
numerous customers, and market their products and services as well as
their respective companies.
It is observed that during the use of
plastic bags, store owners and consumers have higher expenses because
they kept on buying the bags which they can only be used once or twice
as packaging of their commodities. And once these plastic bags are
thrown, they cause danger to people and the environment. These toxic
materials take long years to decompose so they remain trash in the
landfills and oceans.
It was truly crucial that plastic bags were
banned and a better alternative have materialized.
Consumers do not need to buy other shopping bags for them to use in
packaging their foods and goods. All they need to do is to wash the
reusable bags and air dry after every use.
For some purposes,
reusable shopping bags serve not just as ordinary shopping bags but as
fashion accessories for chic girls who love shopping. They are produced
in various shapes and styles, and they can be customized.
Consumers have
a lot of varieties to choose from because of the bags attractive colors
and prints. Another purpose of the reusable bags is for immediate
marketing. Companies use them to be given away to their clients with
their company logos printed on the bags.
People could recognize easily
those companies upon carrying the reusable shopping bags by the clients.
We should be grateful that plastic bags were banned and we have learned the true value of the reusable grocey bags.
