It will come as no surprise to hear the words ‘plastic bag’. It is an extremely hot topic and will be for the foreseeable future. There are countless articles at the moment highlighting the drastic direction we are heading in if we continue our current trends; it goes without saying that something needs to change. Of course this will not be easy as single-use plastics still serves a valuable purpose in our day to day lives. The food industry is an excellent example to showcase this as BPF states that when food or indeed any other related product is packaged in plastic, they are then protected and in the case of fresh foods and goods as stated, they remain fresher for longer. Many of us are influenced by the shelf stability, durability and transparency of single use plastic, not to mention that it is deceptively cheap; but we then forget about the bigger picture and the real cost and impact that comes with single-use plastic which is the great deal of pollution it causes to our environment.

So what is the solution?
A product that offers the same properties and assets as conventional assets but returns back into the earth in a very different manner. It takes 1,000 years for a plastic bag to degrade in a landfill. Unfortunately, the bags do not break down completely but instead turn into micro plastics that absorb toxins and continue to pollute the environment. Compostable packaging on the other hand acts like organic waste and only needs certain requirements to return back into the earth. Here at Green Bell Packaging, our high quality packaging is made from 100% plastic-free polymer compound, manufactured from renewable natural materials and vegetable derivatives making it earth friendly and completely degradable. The products are not only durable to ensure practicality and longevity but are also home compostable. Interested in giving it a shot?
