Conventional plastic bags

  Conventional plastic bags How are conventional plastic bags harmful to our environment? Let me count the ways. The average life of a disposable plastic bag is 12 minutes, and globally, we use 2 million of them every 60 seconds. Made from non-renewable resources, polyethylene bags are extremely harmful to the marine environment because they never biodegrade. Instead, they break down into smaller and smaller pieces over the centuries, causing immeasurable damage to natural ecosystems.   Biodegradable plastic bags In short, something is biodegradable when organisms such as fungi or bacteria can break it down. Biodegradable bags are made from plant-based materials such as corn and wheat starch, rather than petroleum. However, for this plastic, certain conditions are needed for the bags to begin biodegrading. First, the temperature needs to reach 50 degrees Celsius. Second, the bags need to be exposed to UV light. In a marine environment, you would be hard pressed to meet either of these

The difference between biodegradable and compostable packaging materials

图片
Many packaging products offer environmental benefits, such as "biodegradable" and "compostable" materials. But what do these terms really mean, and what is the difference between them? In order to fully understand the environmental impact of packaging materials, it is critical to examine and understand the terminology used to define and market these materials.   What does biodegradable mean? Biodegradable refers to the ability of a material to break down and be returned to nature. In order for  packaging products  or materials to qualify as biodegradable, they must completely break down and decompose into natural elements within a short period of time after disposal, usually one year or less. The ability to biodegrade in landfills helps reduce the accumulation of waste and contributes to a safer, cleaner and healthier environment. Biodegradable materials include corrugated cardboard and even some plastics. However, most plastics are not biodegradable - meaning they

Why did we start using plastic bags?

图片
We started using plastic bags in the 80s because they were  cheaper than paper bags . Shoppers also liked plastic bags because they had handles, something paper bags didn't have at the time. Between the savings they offer grocery chains and the extra convenience they offer consumers, the choice is clear: plastic bags are the better choice!   What is the future for plastic bags? The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a resurgence in plastic bag use. For cleanliness and convenience, businesses such as restaurants, pharmacies and meat markets will continue to use plastic bags. Reusable bags are great for a quick trip to the grocery store, but you probably won't see restaurants putting takeout orders in them anytime soon. For now, plastic bags still have a place in our daily lives! Ordering takeout and running to the drugstore just wouldn't be the same at all without plastic bags. They make our shopping trips both convenient and safe! We may not know exactly what the future holds fo

Who invented the plastic bag?

Plastic bags have always seemed to be a part of our lives. From checking out at the grocery store to picking up a takeout order, we see them almost everywhere. Swedish engineer Sten Gustaf Thulin invented the   modern plastic bag   in 1965. Thulin officially brought the bag to the world after a packaging company he worked for brought it to market. Believe it or not, Thulin created the plastic bag to help protect the environment! At the time, paper bags were the bag of choice. This meant that a lot of trees were being cut down so that people could take items home from the store and throw the bags in the trash. thulin was determined to create an alternative that people could use over and over again. Thus, the plastic bag was born!

CPE gloves

    CPE gloves -- cast polyethylene gloves CPE gloves were invented for the food service and food processing industries.  It is a great alternative to vinyl or latex gloves.  CPE gloves offer many positive benefits -- most notably their durability. They also tend to be heavier than TPE gloves. Workers can use a pair of CPE gloves all day without breaking them. It fits the hand well. That's something PE gloves can't do.   TPE gloves -- a step up from CPE TPE gloves are an upgraded version of CPE gloves. The different materials and different manufacturing make it stronger than CPE gloves and even stronger than PVC gloves, close to nitrile.  The tensile strength can reach 3.6N and 500%  if the glove weight is above 3.0g. It is used by food factories.

The difference between PE gloves, CPE gloves and TPE gloves

PE is short for polyethylene, and there are many types of PE gloves, including HDPE gloves, LDPE gloves, CPE gloves and TPE gloves. So what is the difference between them?   PE gloves -- LDPE and HDPE gloves PE gloves are the cheapest disposable plastic gloves on the market. The price is the main reason why it sells well. Both our HDPE and LDPE gloves are made of food grade plastic resin material.  It can come into direct contact with food. Why PE gloves are cheaper than CPE and TPE gloves? PE gloves can be blown very thin, so the price is better for customers. Fast food restaurants and eateries are the main users of PE gloves.
