Plastic
is a polymer material made from the use of many harmful chemicals and other
substances. The plastic materials are banned in parts of the world. The
plastics are non biodegradable and if burned produces such fumes which can
cause serious lung diseases and many other chronic diseases. Many animals in
search of food eat the plastic materials and this leads them to death. The plastics
though find much usefulness but still considered as the social evils which
affects the ecology and most of the times leaves a negative impact on the
environment.
With
so many negative features the emergence of the paper bags came into play. These are such materials which are
completely biodegradable and do pose a threat to the environment. The bags made
out of paper are mostly favored by many developed and developing countries of
the world.
What is the use?
The
paper bags are used by the people mostly for carrying the household stuffs from
one place to another. Few researches in the recent times reveals about the fact
that use of plastic material for carrying food articles might lead to a very
rare case of cancer, in the males the problem of prostate glands also occur due
to the use of plastic goods. The use of paper bags does not show such results on the other hand. These bags made out of
paper are also used for wrapping and decorating. The bags are also available at
a much cheaper price. These can also be recycled and used even after one time
use for the house hold works.
Do they pose any kind of threats to the
environment?
