When there is no specific measure to replace plastic packaging, recycled plastic bags are considered an effective solution to reduce the amount of plastic waste released into the environment. At Minh Sang, your business will find a variety of recycled plastic packaging models suitable for your products and especially they meet the GRS (Global Recycled Standard)

What is a GRS Recycled Plastic Bags?

Recycled plastic bags are bags made from recycled plastic – a type of plastic synthesized from used nylon waste. And because not all types of plastic can be recycled, before production, they must be carefully selected.

The selected plastic is collected, crushed, cleaned, dried and melted. Then, the plastic mixture is transferred to an extruder, which presses the plastic into vermicelli or plastic granules. From recycled plastic granules, people can use them to produce many products, helping to save new plastic materials and reduce the cost of materials for manufacturing plastic products, typically recycled nylon bags used to produce recycled nylon bags.

 GRS Global Recycled Standard

To assess the recyclable content of plastics, a common standard is used, typically the Global Recycled Standard (GRS).

The GRS is designed to meet the needs of companies that want to verify the recycled content of their products (both finished and semi-finished) as well as to verify responsible social, environmental and chemical practices in their production. The goals of the GRS are to define requirements to ensure accurate content claims and good working conditions, minimizing harmful chemical and environmental impacts. This includes cotton ginning, spinning, weaving and knitting, dyeing and printing, and stitching companies in more than 50 countries.

Characteristics and Classification of Recycled Plastic Bags

The properties of packaging depend on the material it’s made from. For recycled plastic bags, materials like PET, HDPE, PVC, LDPE, PP, and PS can be used. Each type of plastic has its own unique characteristics. However, since they are all recycled resins, they generally share the following properties:

•  Slightly opaque, yellowish color
•  Smooth, glossy surface
•  Stable thinness and flexibility
•  Durable
•  Waterproof, moisture-proof
•  Easy to laminate and print on

From recycled plastic pellets, various styles of recycled bags can be produced, such as handle bags, press-seal zipper bags, zip-lock bags, and self-adhesive bags, depending on customer needs.

Applications of Recycled Plastic Bags

Recycled plastic bags retain the same properties as conventional plastic bags: they’re easy to process into various designs, simple to thin out, waterproof, and are used across many industries for product packaging.

These recycled plastic bags are utilized for packaging food products, pharmaceuticals, fashion items, stationery, technology products, and more. Customers can be completely confident in the convenience these products offer.

Benefits for Businesses Using GRS Recycled Plastic Bags

Since there isn’t yet a definitive solution to effectively replace plastic waste and packaging, recycled plastic bags are considered a viable way to reduce the amount of plastic released into the environment. Following the call from the United Nations, more and more countries are embracing the use of recycled plastic bags. In fact, an increasing number of nations have even enacted policies to limit plastic use and boost plastic recycling.

• Easy Export to International Markets

This means that if a business wants to export products to these countries, their packaging needs to meet recycling standards. Therefore, a key benefit of using GRS-certified recycled plastic bags is that it helps your business’s products get easily imported into these nations. Experts suggest that until there’s a concrete solution to plastic waste, recycled plastic bags will become the trend for minimizing environmental plastic pollution.

• Enhancing Brand Value

Using environmentally friendly packaging is a strategy many businesses employ to build customer goodwill and affirm their brand’s values. Ultimately, regardless of the immediate benefits, using eco-friendly packaging is our collective way of protecting the environment. That is the ultimate goal we’re striving for.
