ECOLOGICAL BAGS: OPTIONS FOR YOUR BUSINESS

In short, there is a large overconsumption of plastic bags per inhabitant per year. The good news is that, more and more, the market offers us ecological solutions to overcome this problem. The recent entry into force of the new regulation on plastic bags in commerce on 1st July, imposes a goal of reducing the consumption of plastic bags, since they are very polluting for the environment. So if you have a business, you can find an alternative by using eco-friendly bags.

Definition

Ecological plastic bags are those which, through the materials used in their manufacture, the high possibilities for reuse and the simplicity of recycling, are a sustainable option for transporting products.

As a result, at RAJA we have a wide range of eco-friendly bags and packaging with which you can enhance the presentation of your products and at the same time nurture a special care for the environment. As far as ecological bags are concerned, we offer three possibilities: biodegradable bags, reusable bags and paper bags.

1. Biodegradable bags

So, traditional plastic bags take decades and even centuries to degrade. However, biodegradable bags, made from plant products such as cereal starch, enter the disintegration process after 18 months from their date of manufacture. So, to ensure that you choose the 100% eco-friendly biodegradable bags, you should check their compliance with theEuropean standardEN 13432: 2000, which sets out the requirements for the production of compostable and biodegradable packaging.

2. Reusable

Whether made of cotton, non-woven fabric or raffia, reusable bags are designed so that the customer can use them again and again. As such, some experts clarify that reusable bags can replace up to 400 disposable plastic bags.

As a result, at RAJA you can find reusable bags in a vast number of colours and shapes:

• With hollow wings;
• With and without bellows at the base;
• Normal.

Remember also that you can personalise your reusable bags, making them the best advertising medium for your brand. That way, it’s certain, the more your customers use them, the more visibility your business will enjoy.

3. Paper bags

Paper bags, on the other hand, are aesthetically very attractive and quite resistant. But, above all, they are an excellent alternative to plastic bags, in shops, because:

• Their decomposition requires only a few months;
• Their recycling process is relatively simple;
• The customer can reuse them several times.

Furthermore, for your business, you can opt for customised eco-friendly bags. You can easily order them with your brand imprint or any other design you wish through our RAJAPRINT service.
