"Reduce, reuse, and recycle" is a mantra that modern environment gurus mostly follow. They claim that if there is a reduction in the amount of resources and energy that we use, we will be able to prevent excessive global warming in the coming decades. And they are right. The problem is that we need more people to come forward and adopt a greener way of living. Not a lot of people have started to follow eco friendly ways. The packaging industry in the United States is a typical example. It continues to waste a mammoth amount of resources on inefficient packaging methods, even when stand up pouches offer a cheaper and a more environment friendly alternative.
Stand up pouch bags are environment friendly for three primary reasons -
- It takes fewer resources to produce pouch bags
- They are reusable
- They are recyclable.
The amount of energy and raw materials that go into the production of a stand up bag is a fraction of the resources that are required to produce heavy duty plastic jars and bottles, glass jars, tin cans, and other packing mediums. As these pouches are packed and shipped flat, it takes lesser energy to store and transport them. People can use resealable stand up pouches multiple times. And, like other stuff made of plastic, stand up pouches can be dug out of landfills for recycling.
