Three years ago, a paper plastic restriction order put plastic bags into the "cold palace", and cloth bags and paper bags were also "squeezed out" from the ranks of "plastic substitutes" because they were not waterproof. Non-woven bags began to emerge and become The "best substitute" for plastic bags.For a time, from obscurity to the public eye, non-woven bags have become "environmental protection stars" - but there is no conclusion about the quality of the "environmental protection" of non-woven bags.Yesterday, the reporter visited many large supermarkets in Urumqi and found that about half of consumers choose to bring their own non-woven shopping bags when shopping.Citizen Lu Jing said that when shopping in supermarkets, bringing your own non-woven bags saves money and is an environmentally friendly move.However, young consumers do not agree with this concept. College student Xu Xiaoan believes that non-woven bags are inconvenient to carry around, because they are printed with commercial advertisements, and they are "not classy" when used."Non-woven fabric is environmentally friendly, you can find out on the Internet that its raw materials are biodegradable." said the staff of Urumqi Tianyuan Xingsheng Non-woven Fabric Co., Ltd.Nevertheless, experts in the packaging materials industry believe that the three major fibers used in non-woven production are polypropylene fiber (62%), polyester fiber (24%) and viscose fiber (8%). Since polypropylene is a raw material for plastics and plastics, and is an important component in the raw materials of non-woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics are also plastic products.According to environmental protection experts, plastic bags and non-woven bags are not "environmentally friendly" in terms of ingredients: plastic bags with polyvinyl chloride as the main component, even if they are buried in the ground, it takes 1,000 years to degrade; Non-woven shopping bags with polypropylene as the main component have the same slow degradation process in the natural environment.There is considerable research on food packaging. Dong Jinshi, secretary general of the International Food Packaging Association, said that environmental protection is more important in human behavior. "If our concept is improved, everything can be truly recycled, then it is truly environmental protection. .""Environmental protection needs to change from product substitution to behavioral substitution. No matter what kind of product is used once, it is definitely not environmentally friendly. As consumers, they should carry cloth bags and carry baskets again to be considered a real awakening of environmental awareness. "Dong Jinshi concluded like this.
