Raw materials are not easy to decompose, and woven-free bags are more dangerous than plastic bags

　"When I was tidying up my home, I found more than a dozen eco-friendly bags, most of which were gifts from merchants." Recently, some citizens have reported that the flooded gift eco-friendly bags are no longer able to play an environmental protection role. Experts remind that eco-friendly bags made of chemical fiber non-woven fabrics are actually not environmentally friendly, and they have the same problem of being difficult to degrade at room temperature like plastic bags.

Since the implementation of the "plastic restriction order", merchants have regarded eco-friendly bags as a magic weapon for promotion - buy food and beverages and give away eco-friendly bags; Buy magazines, pay mobile phone bills, and get an eco-friendly bag...... Although these eco-bags are easy to use, brightly colored, and have cute patterns, they are also popular with many consumers, but according to many citizens, since the widespread use of eco-bags, they will receive free eco-bags when participating in activities, shopping, etc. Now there are so many eco-friendly bags at home that there is nowhere to put them. "These eco-friendly bags are all given away, and they are thrown away when they are old or broken." Consumers generally believe that the quality of today's gift eco-friendly bags is not very good, especially non-woven bags, their toughness is much worse than that of textile fabrics, and some are even inferior to plastic bags, and they are not waterproof. Consumer Ms. Liu said: "Non-woven bags are easy to crack from right angles, eco-friendly bags are so easy to break, if they are often thrown away, can they still play an environmental role in environmental protection?"

According to experts, most of the eco-friendly bags are non-woven bags, the raw materials are polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate, and the raw materials of plastic bags are polyethylene, polypropylene and polyethylene are both plastic varieties that cannot be degraded for 50 years, polypropylene will also release harmful substances when exposed to high temperatures. Moreover, the weight and volume of non-woven bags are more than ten times higher than ordinary plastic bags, and some non-woven bags will also add small accessories such as buttons and sequins, which cannot be recycled. Therefore, non-woven bags are actually less environmentally friendly than regular plastic bags that are recyclable and easy to crush and recycle.

An employee of a non-woven fabric factory in Harbin City told reporters that many companies and enterprises now use eco-friendly bags as gifts for advertising. And the cost of making eco-friendly bags in the true sense is much higher."

In this regard, many citizens said that the "plastic restriction order" did not restrict the use of plastic bags, and now there is a trend of proliferation of non-degradable eco-friendly bags. Members of the public suggested that the relevant departments should make clear regulations on the quality of eco-friendly bags and strictly enforce the law. In addition, experts remind that the raw materials of non-woven fabrics themselves are also plastic products, which are used in large quantities for a long time, and the degradation process is slow, and its potential risk is greater than that of plastic bags, which may become another huge source of pollution after plastic bags.
