Polythene bags
Polybags has been a polythene bags (often called Poly Bags)
manufacturer since 1961. In that time we have developed a
substantial range of innovative packaging products including
being the first UK polythene bag manufacturer to research and
design our own line of environmentally
friendly biodegradable bags.
We also pride ourselves on an extensive range of off-the-shelf
stock polythene bags, environmentally friendly bags and packaging
items, you can buy these with free delivery to most parts of the
UK from our online polythene bag and packaging catalogue.
You can also order printed carrier bags printed with your
company's logo or design or we can manufacture polythene
bags specifically to suit your needs.
If you would like to read a little more about the manufacturing
process first, please see our polythene manufacturing pages
for more information on the extrusion, bag-making and
bag-printing process.
Biodegradable bags, paper and glass packaging vs Plastic bags
New Scientist recently published an article called "Plastic: the
stuff we love to hate". This article explored the way we regard
polythene packaging and polythene bags and dispelled the
widespread notion that polythene is the least green product. In
fact, it concluded that polythene is actually one of the most
efficient forms of packaging and materials normally regarded as
environmentally friendly such as glass and paper actually
contribute significantly more to global warming because they are
more expensive to produce, require thousands of times more energy
to produce and are heavier and more bulky to transport, meaning
increased pollution and carbon emmissions coupled with heavier
congestion. Plastic can also be recycled, a fact that is often
overlooked and we are proud to offer a recycling option on nearly
all of our manufactured polythene products.
We are seeking permission to reproduce the article here, as it
makes interesting and surprising reading.
