When people usually shop offline, they often get a variety of packaging bags, such as plastic bags, paper bags, etc. There is no place to recycle and sell these scraps after accumulating them, but it would be a pity to simply throw them away. So how can we turn waste into treasure and use it rationally for a second time?

There are many types of packaging bags that you get during daily shopping. They can be divided into many categories according to material, purpose, and packaging. Here we only briefly introduce three types that we often see when shopping in our daily lives. ! 1. Plastic packaging bags

Plastic bags are divided into food grade and non-food grade. Plastic bags similar to food grade are made of pure polyethylene. Even if they contain high-heat foods, such as steamed buns just out of the oven, they will not produce toxic substances.

1. Food-grade plastic bags

Can be used to temporarily package some food at home, or to wrap food for a short period of time and store it in the refrigerator. This is also considered secondary use.

2. Non-food grade plastic bags

This kind of plastic bag should not come into contact with directly edible food, but it is used to put it on the trash can to hold household garbage. Good secondary use method.

In this way, not only will the plastic bags used every time you buy things not be wasted, but you will also save money on buying separate garbage bags!

Use a large carton or bag to hold the plastic bags used for each shopping trip. All of them are grouped together so that they can be easily accessed when loading garbage. ~ 2. Non-woven shopping bags

Non-woven shopping bags are also a very common shopping bag. The material of this bag is generally made of non-woven fabric. The bag is larger and has anti-resistant properties. With the advantages of being moist, breathable, and easy to decompose, it can be said to be a good material for environmental protection.
