Decomposition of paper bags
Explanation:
- Any normal paper bag takes about 30 days to decompose off completely, whereas a normal plastic bag may take up to 5 to 10 years to decompose.
- The paper for a paper bag is extracted from trees, which is a renewable source which means that they are naturally replenished over time, thus unlimited.
- Whereas a plastic bag is made synthetically with polyethylene which in turn is extracted from petroleum. Petroleum is a non-renewable form of energy and thus takes time to becomes available.
- Paper is a natural compound thus easy to decompose but plastic is a man-made macromolecule thus very difficult to decompose naturally.
