On a green shopping spree!

This World Environment Day, it is time to switch over to environment friendly bags

Gone are the days of plastic carry bags and shopping bags. Almost every day we do grocery shopping or make some purchases and many have shunned plastic while shopping and switched to paper bags today.

According to Nivil Xavier, self- marketer of paper products, “Paper bags are more hygienic than plastic ones. It may be a little costly but is the safe for the environment. And now with innovations like customization, it would be a good shift to an environment friendly concept.”

The government rule to avoid the use of plastic bags has also triggered the adoption of a new packaging system. The recycled paper bags are stronger than the normal brown paper bags. Besides, there are facilities available today to print designs and logos on the paper bags which helps to create a brand identity.

Sunil T P, proprietor, Onyx Vision, promotes paper bags made from various materials like art paper, duplex, maplisto, craft etc. “They are bio-degradable, can be re-cycled and re-used with no pollution to the environment. We make customised paper bags based on the requirement of the client,” he says.

With many nature enthusiasts starting home-based businesses selling eco-friendly products online and otherwise, it is becoming a trend now and is being promoted in a big way.
