Qingdao Polytex Plastics Co., Ltd.

In the early days, the word plastic was associated with low-quality, goods made on the cheap. These days, people understand that plastic is made from petroleum which fuels our vehicles and can be turned into useful products, and also contributes to greenhouse gases.

Speaking of PP woven bags, they start from an oil refinery. The raw petroleum gets separated into various grades, or fractions. The highest fractions are LP gas and butane, while the lower grades consist of stove oil and diesel fuel. Higher grades have a much lower boiling point while the lower has a higher boiling point.

While there are many different types of plastics, they all fall into one of two broad categories namely, thermosetting polymers and thermoplastics. The first type of plastic is basically a one-time-only proposition. Once it has been formed into something and cools, it can’t be used again. The second type however, thermoplastics, can be melted down and used over and over.

After that, these pellets are delivered to the factory. They are melted down and made into a thin, film-like material. This film can then be blown like glass into a myriad of shapes and even be stitched together like fabric. The end products, such as woven polypropylene bags, are quite durable and useful. These products are delivered to other businesses, including grocers, food service establishments, manufacturers, packing companies, retailers.

Ultimately, these products make their way into the hands of consumers. However, the same durability that makes these bulk packaging products so useful is also a potential downfall. Simply by being tossed into landfills and waterways, these plastic products can outlast the pyramids.

Unfortunately, items such as plastic bags and bottles get used two, maybe three times before they’re thrown away. Fortunately, we all have another choice, and this is something that you can remind your customers and clients of every time you choose polypropylene shopping bags bags and bottles. Many of these products come stamped with the three-arrowed symbol – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle reminding users that the material in their product can be used repeatedly, even with the product itself breaks or wears out.
