Everyone knows that paper is a recyclable resource. The raw materials for papermaking are mainly plant fibers. In addition to the three main components of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, there are other components with less content, such as resin and ash. In addition, there are auxiliary ingredients such as sodium sulfate. In addition to plant fibers in paper, different fillers need to be added according to different paper materials. The commonly used plastic bags are made of polyethylene. The raw material used is petroleum, and petroleum is already our scarce energy. In contrast, the raw material for the production of paper bags is trees, which is a renewable resource. It is naturally degradable and recyclable that it has a green label.
