Environmental protection of paper bags

Paper bags are generally considered to be more environmentally friendly than plastic bags because they can be degraded more easily and have less impact on the environment. Paper bags are usually recyclable and produce less pollution when handled and discarded. However, the production of paper bags may require more resources and energy, so comprehensive considerations need to be made when choosing. Some environmentalists recommend minimizing the use of disposable bags and advocating the use of reusable shopping bags to reduce the impact on the environment.
