Information about Plastic bag

So last week in Textile the teacher gives us a task is to research like the example, Why there is no more single use of plastic bags?. While I'm researching I found like good information about it and I put it on google docs and post it on my blog so people can see it who is viewing my blog.


 Why there is no more single use of plastic bags?

Single-use plastic shopping bags are banned in New Zealand  Because businesses cannot provide you with single-use plastic bags. The ban will help reduce the amount of plastic in our environment. They also ban the use of plastic bags because the plastic bag is very thick and easy to break down when it breaks people just throwing in the ground not putting in the rubbish bin, It doesn’t help our environment.

Relate climate change

As it does, sunlight and heat cause the plastic to release powerful greenhouse gases, leading to an alarming feedback loop. As our climate change, the planet gets hotter, the plastic breaks down into more methane and ethylene, increasing the rate of climate change. 

How they are made?

Traditional plastic bags are usually made from polyethene, which is consist of a long chain of ethylene monomers. The oil or gas is superheated and pressurized to isolate pure polyethene chains which can be combined (polymerized) to form resin pellets of pure plastic. Whether the product will be a grocery bag or a plastic shopping bag, different amounts of heat and pressure will be applied to create plastic resin pellets of different densities.
