Are Cotton Bags Really Environmental?

The use of cotton bags has increased since anti-plastic bags campaigns began and products other than plastic bags were banned in many countries. There are several types of cotton bags on the market today. Some brands are also involved in the production of such bags. And those who use it are happy to think that they are contributing to the protection of the environment to a lesser extent. But what we consider eco-friendly bags is also harmful to our planet, according to the shocking results of a recent study.

According to a study by the Danish Ministry of Food and Environment, making a cotton bag should be used at least 20,000 times to reduce the damage to the planet. This meant that a bag made of cotton cloth could be used for 3 years.

Environmentalists say plenty of water is needed to make cotton bags. And disposing of it while saving the environment is not as easy as we think. Let's do a simple experiment to understand this. If you are making compost from household waste, try putting a cotton bag in it. 'Milk of milk and water of water will be gone.'

Also, various brands print their logos on cotton bags based on PVC. It is impossible to recycle. In such a situation, if you think that the cotton bag harms the environment on the one hand and the chemicals used for the logo printed on it on the other hand harm the environment even more than the bag, how did the cotton bag become eco-friendly? So we have to get out of the illusion that bags made of cotton cloth will not harm the environment.

Experts say that many patterned cotton bags have been put on the market to reduce the damage caused to the environment by plastic. But it became a means of publicity for a number of brands.
