I love paper bags, and they are great for some purposes. They look great as present packaging and as the packaging of some products that don’t need to be sealed.
But paper cannot protect food or other essential products from external impacts. It cannot make the selling of wet products comfortable. This is why we need plastic from companies like https://www.interplas.com/poly-bags. Of course, we should think about reducing the usage of plastic and use it only in situations when we really need it, but it cannot be completely cut off because we need it every day. and sometimes producing plastic is more environment-friendly than producing paper.
