Introduction to Woven Bags:
After the ban on plastic bags, manufacturers introduced woven bags as an alternative option. Woven bags are made from polypropylene PP strips or threads, which are woven or bound together to create a lightweight and durable material. The weaving style of these bags makes them unique and famous worldwide. However, there are both advantages and weaknesses to using woven bags.
Advantages of Woven Bags:
Woven bags are flexible and maintain their shape well. They are reusable, washable, and do not tear easily. They also do not shrink in water and can be printed on both sides, making them ideal for advertising purposes.
Weaknesses of Woven Bags:
Woven bags have some weaknesses, including the fact that they can provide a habitat for germs and bacteria due to the binding of fibers. They are not suitable for carrying or storing food without some sort of restraint due to the risk of direct contact with bacteria. Woven bags are not water-resistant, and there are limited color options available. They are also not easily recyclable and the polypropylene fiber used in their production is not completely biodegradable.
Overall, while woven bags have their advantages, it is important to consider their weaknesses as well and weigh them against the impact they have on our lives and the environment.
