Most businesses are aiming to adopt sustainability, however they are not only focused on bringing it in production. But they are also aiming to integrate it in packaging. However, being unaware of the same, there are many businesses who are still using plastic handles over paper handles. Though these businesses have chosen paper bags over plastic bags, but use of plastic handles does add a drawback to them. With our aim to promote the use of paper bag handle, we at P. K. International are sharing a few differences between paper bag handles and plastic bag handles. These differences will help businesses understand which of the two are better to go for. It will also help you determine all the pros and cons of using both these handles.
Eco-friendly Handles
Considering the problems that comes with plastic use, everyone now looks for eco-friendly options. Especially when it comes to small components like bag handles. Paper bag handle is biodegradable and is an eco-friendly option to go for. Choosing paper handles over plastic handles for bags not only make these businesses environmentally conscious. But it also helps in building a positive brand image among customers, making them choose your brand over other brands.
Cost-effective choice
Though both paper and plastic bag handles are produced in limited budget, however, if we compare the price for bulk manufacturing, plastic bag handles are cost-effective. Manufacturing plastic handles may take more time but their cost of production is less. But if we consider long-term, paper bag handles are better, as they can be reused due to their ability of being easy to recycle. For businesses who are aiming to spend less money and do not wish to go for sustainable choice, can choose plastic ones over the ones made of paper.
Easy to recycle
When it comes to recycling, paper bag handle is the best choice. Unlike plastic bag handles which are required to be removed from the paper bags and then they can be sent for recycling; paper handles can be recycled along with paper bags only. They are made of organic material, making them easier to recycle and reproduce. Recycling small plastic handles can become overwhelming as they are not biodegradable. It makes one leave them as it is leading to increase in the plastic pollution. On the other hand, bag handles made using paper are recyclable and they also reduce the production cost during recycling.
Reduce carbon footprint
Businesses are aiming to find ways to reduce their carbon footprint to get themselves enlisted among the names of sustainable businesses. But using plastic handles in paper bags will not help them make any difference. However, on the other hand, paper handles are one of the best choices for businesses who are focused towards sustainability. They will offer their customers with a better packaging and will also reduce plastic pollution and landfill in the environment, as these handles are easy to recycle.
