At present, among promotion bags and shopper bags of preferential price, the main forces include cotton bags and PP Non woven & PP Woven. Their differences could be primarily identified by fabric. Cotton bags are natural products, the latter is a synthetic fiber(For example: PP-Polypropylene, PET-polyethylene glycol terephthalate, PE - polyethylene harmful to the environment).
In general, among other fabric of bags, cotton is the best option. Cotton is used to make cloth, and it is an all-natural plant. When cotton bag is repeatedly used to a certain extent, it will be disposed as garbage, it will be decomposed into various natural ingredients under natural conditions, and eventually return to the biological cycle of the nature. Therefore, cotton bags have the least impact on the environment.
Polypropylene could be used to produce Non woven bags, it is a by-product of the petroleum industry. It contains no harmful additives to health and the environment. Moreover, this kind of fabric can be quickly decomposed under natural conditions, especially under sunlight.
PP woven and PP Non woven are both compose of polypropylene, the main difference lies in the processing procedure and their surface characteristics of raw materials. Both are water-resistant and firm in texture. There is a layer of lamination on the surface of PP woven bag, in this case the surface is smoother and printable. Comparatively, PP Non woven is similar to the woven fabric, it has a solid structure, but the printing effect isn't as good as PP woven.
Another option for fabric is polyester. There are two forms of polyester, a cottonlike fabric that woven from polyester fabric that is strong and durable. The other one is PET and polyethylene terephthalate, both resemble to PP, which is a kind of polyester. It takes from recycled plastic bottles. A conventional PET bag needs about 5 plastic bottles. Nearly 80% of the components used in the production process come from recycled plastic, making the product environmentally friendly. Sturdy and durable PET bags could be a companion in our daily life.
In the current market, PE plastic bags are widely used. The raw materials also come from petroleum by-products, it is difficult to decompose under normal natural conditions due to the stability of their composition and structure. It is reported that plastic can last for 300 years under the natural circumstance, and its tiny particles can re-enter the body through the biological chain, that endangering human health. If plastic is burned or exposed to high temperatures, the diffused components are harmful to human health. Therefore, more and more people begin to use cotton bags or other types of environmentally friendly fabric shopper bags to replace PE bags, and reduce the usage of PE bags.
