The usage of cotton to replace plastic bag has been promoted by many government and countries worldwide. Some people oppose cotton as replacement for plastic bags and relate it with the usage or energy. They claim that plastic production use less energy and contributed to lower carbon emission. However we also have to see on different aspects of life. Cotton bags are biodegradable and won’t create any potential problems with human, earth, animals and sealife.
Green and Eco Materials
Organic Cotton – Organic cotton is grown without chemical pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides or any inorganic chemicals. Products that made from organic cotton listed here all are certified. Organic is the Greenest of the cotton options that available.
Recycled Cotton – This cotton is fabricated from reclaimed post-industrial organic and natural cotton scrap. This scrap is avoided from being thrown to the landfill becoming useless waste that would pollute our lovely earth. This canvas may be slightly darker and grainier than its organic and natural cousins. It’s hard to say whether recycled cotton is Greener than organic cotton, since both of them are treated differently. Organic cotton is green from the start while recycled one is saved from being polluted.
Natural Cotton – The materials are produced by small farmers who do not use chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers for over 20 years. Although the materials are not certified by official body, however the products could be categorized as organic and eco-friendly. All three of the cotton options are Lead-free.
