Compare the environmental impact of a plastic and paper bag on the environment

Autor: ruby hatton



Respuesta:

-plastic bags are made from crude oil which is nonrenewable, paper bags are made from trees which are renewable -extracting crude oil is harmful to habitats bc oil spills, felling trees down for wood is also destructive to habitats -both wood and crude oil have to be chemically processed which requires a large amount of energy and releases waste products, paper bags require huge amounts of water -plastic bags are strong and can be reused, paper bags tend to tear and are only really used once -they both need transporting to landfills of for recycling, paper bags are heavier than plastic bags so require more energy to transport -plastic bags are non biodegradable and can't be broken down by microorganisms, paper can -plastic bags stay in the environment for a long time, they're litter and fill landfills
