Food waste is a big problem in the UK, with the advent of cheaper food and shopping on a less frequent basis we are throwing away more and more food. In an ideal world we would all shop on a frequent basis, purchasing the exact quantity that we need, but in a culture of a time poor population is this really realistic?
Chances are that the last time you opened a can of beans or tore into a chocolate bar, you tossed away the packaging without a second thought. Most of us do exactly the same, but perhaps we wouldn’t if we knew a little more about the history of innovation and invention which has led to food packaging as we know it today.
It might seem like polythene bags have been around forever, but they are a relatively newcomer into our day to day lives. Most of us will use them at some point whether to carry some shopping, package our food, or for waste products, it’s a material that has integrated itself seamlessly into daily life.
One of the most popular types of polythene bags, the clear versions are cost effective and can be used for so many different applications.
As we see the waste management industry continue to grow both for the commercial and domestic sectors, the segregation of waste becomes more important and therefore polythene waste segregation sacks do too!
Compostable polythene bags are safer, greener alternatives to the conventional plastic bag.
The polythene bag, known to many of us as the plastic bag, is ubiquitous with modern living, and has a multitude of uses.
There are many different types of waste disposal containers and sacks, the two prominent ones being standard plastic Waste Sacks, and specialised Clinical Waste sacks.
The whole of UK now follows a law where companies are required to charge customers for plastic carrier bags when they make a purchase from retailers.
Plastic bags are durable and reusable. This is perhaps why these bags have been the preferred packaging option for so many years.
