Oct 30, 2019 /prREACH/ -- The issues related to single-use plastic bags are now well-known to all, and efforts are on at different levels to address this challenge. Pomatree, an Amazon seller of environmentally responsible home utility products, has recently explained why it is extremely important to stop using all types of single-use plastic products. Many Amazon shoppers are now using the company's popular reusable grocery tote bags as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic bags.
"Our reliance on fossil-fuel-derived plastics has been a key contributor to climate change. Plastic releases a smorgasbord of toxic chemicals as it decomposes, resulting in dire consequences for animals, plants and the environment," said a spokesperson from Pomatree. "Recent studies estimate that by 2050, there will be more plastic by weight than fish in the ocean. Specifically, straws, grocery bags, and packaged products make up 40% of plastic waste that is rarely recycled."
Around the world, one million plastic drinking bottles are purchased every minute, while up to 5 trillion disposable plastic bags are used worldwide every year. In total, half of all plastic produced is designed to be used only once and then thrown away. The same properties that make plastics so useful, such as their durability and resistance to degradation, also make them nearly impossible for nature to break down completely.
Reusable grocery tote bags from Pomatree are available in three colors and can comfortably carry over 35 pounds. With dimensions of 14 x 10 x 11 inches, these spacious bags can accommodate all types of grocery items. The product's superior strength and durability can be attributed to its rigid cardboard sides and a hard bottom insert. The extended handles of these bags have also been reinforced with strong metal grommets. In addition to day to day shopping, these bags can also be used for traveling and safe storage of different items at home. Made of non-woven polypropylene, these grocery bags can be cleaned easily using a damp cloth, says the company.
