Why Recycle a PP Woven Shopping Bag
Post-consumer PP woven sacks are widely used for all kinds of packaging, but many of them are directly discarded after one use, and if they are not recycled, they will pile up in large quantities in landfills or enter the ocean, causing serious plastic pollution.
Recycling allows PP materials to return to the production chain, replacing some virgin plastics and realizing the recycling of resources, in line with the economic model of sustainable development.
PP has excellent durability as a high-value plastic. Recycling allows this non-biodegradable material to reach its full resource potential instead of being wasted or discarded.
