Recyclable customized bags are those that are both environmentally friendly and can meet personalized needs. Recyclable customized bags are usually made of environmentally friendly materials, such as recyclable plastics, paper or cloth. These materials can be processed through specific recycling ways after use, and can be made into new products again after processing, reducing pollution to the environment and waste of resources.
Customization features
Personalized design:
Customized designs can be made according to customer needs, including the shape, size, color, pattern, etc. of the bag. This enables customized bags to meet the brand promotion and personalized expression needs of different companies, organizations or individuals.
Brand promotion:
For companies, customized bags can be printed with corporate logos, slogans, product information, etc., becoming an effective brand promotion tool. During use, customized bags can attract the attention of others and increase brand awareness.
Specific uses:
According to different uses, customized bags can be designed into shopping bags, gift bags, document bags, etc. to meet the needs of various scenarios.
Advantages
1. Environmental awareness enhancement: The use of recyclable customized bags helps to improve people's environmental awareness and encourage everyone to actively participate in environmental protection actions. Many European countries now advocate environmental protection for food packaging, so recyclable customized bags are widely used in Europe.
2. Economical: Although the initial cost of custom bags may be higher than ordinary bags, due to their recyclability and durability, they can be used multiple times, reducing the long-term use cost.
3. Reliable quality: Recyclable customized bags usually undergo strict quality inspections, having high strength and durability, which can withstand a certain amount of weight and pressure.
In short, recyclable custom bags are environmentally friendly, practical and personalized bags with broad application prospects in modern society.
What are the common recyclable environmentally friendly customized bags?
1. HDPE/PE packaging bags:
• Features: Packaging bags made of HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and PE (polyethylene) have good chemical stability, heat resistance and cold resistance, which are tough, soft and resilient. They are non-toxic and odorless, and are relatively friendly to the environment and human health.
• Application: Widely used in the packaging of clothing, home textiles, electrical appliances, gifts, home furnishings and other products. For example, many of the roll bags commonly used in supermarkets for packaging vegetables and fruits, and the packaging bags of some clothing brands are made of HDPE or PE. These bags can be recycled and reused after use. After cleaning, crushing, melting, granulation and other processes, they can be made into recycled plastic particles for the production of plastic barrels, plastic pallets, plastic pipes and other plastic products.
2. PP (polypropylene) packaging bags:
• Features: PP material has high transparency with good mechanical strength and chemical corrosion resistance. It is also a thermoplastic with strong recyclability.
• Application: Commonly used for packaging food, cosmetics, stationery and other products. For example, some snack packaging bags, cosmetic sample packaging bags, etc. may use PP material. The recycled PP material can be used to make trash cans, plastic tables and chairs, etc.
3. Recyclable packaging bags with a single material laminated
• Features: Some packaging bags use a multi-layer laminated structure of a single material, such as a laminated packaging bag of PE and PE. This type of packaging bag not only ensures packaging performance, but also does not require complex material separation during recycling due to its single material. It can be directly melted and granulated for recycling.
• Application: Suitable for products with high requirements for packaging barrier properties and strength, such as some food packaging that needs to be moisture-proof and anti-oxidation, or packaging of electronic products.
4. GRS-certified recyclable packaging bags:
• Features: GRS (Global Recycling Standard) certification is an international, voluntary product standard with strict regulations on the source of recycled materials and environmental protection requirements during the production process. GRS-certified packaging bags not only ensure their recyclability, but also ensure the environmental protection and sustainability of the entire production process.
• Application: Many internationally renowned brands such as Zara, H&M, Adidas, etc. will choose GRS-certified recyclable packaging bags for product packaging to meet their environmental protection requirements and show their environmental protection concepts to consumers.
5. Paper packaging bags (partially recyclable):
• Features: Paper packaging bags are usually made of wood fibers that are biodegradable and have less pollution to the environment. Some paper packaging bags use recyclable paper materials, and reduce the use of chemical additives in the production process, which is more environmentally friendly.
• Application: Commonly used in the packaging of food, medicine, gifts and other products. For example, some tea packaging bags, cake gift boxes and other packaging will use paper packaging bags. However, if there is too much printing ink on the surface of the paper packaging bag or it has been specially treated (such as lamination, etc.), it may affect the difficulty and effect of its recycling.
At present, HDPE/PE customized bags are the most widely used, and the main reasons are:
1. Material properties are conducive to recycling:
• Single material: HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and PE (polyethylene) are both polyolefin plastics with relatively simple structures and relatively stable chemical properties. If the customized bag is made of only HDPE or PE single material, there is no need for complex material separation during recycling, and the recycling value is higher.
• Thermoplasticity: HDPE and PE are thermoplastic, that is, they will soften and melt when heated to a certain temperature, and will re-solidify after cooling. This characteristic allows them to be reprocessed into new plastic products through heating, melting, remolding and other processes after recycling, thus realizing the recycling of resources.
2. Market demand and policy promotion:
• Increased market demand: With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, more and more companies and consumers have begun to pay attention to the recyclability of packaging. Due to its recyclable characteristics, the demand for HDPE/PE customized bags in the market has gradually increased, which has also promoted the development of related recycling technologies and industries.
3. Proven recycling technology:
• Simple recycling process: There are relatively mature HDPE/PE customized bag recycling processes. For example, the recycled bags can be made into recycled plastic particles after washing, crushing, melting, granulation and other steps. These particles can be used to produce various plastic products, such as plastic barrels, plastic pallets, plastic pipes, etc.
• Low recycling cost: Compared with some other plastic materials, the recycling cost of HDPE/PE customized bags is relatively low. This is because their recycling process is relatively simple, and the recycled plastic particles have a high market value after recycling, which can reduce the recycling cost to a certain extent.
