The annual action day raises awareness of paper carrier bags as a sustainable and efficient packaging option that helps consumers to avoid littering and minimise negative impacts on the environment. This year\u2019s edition will centre around the reusability of paper bags. For this occasion, initiators \u201cThe Paper Bag\u201d, Europe\u2019s leading kraft paper manufacturers and paper bag producers, have also launched a video series in which a paper bag\u2019s reusability is tested and demonstrated in different everyday situations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-36337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.converter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/EuropeanPaperBagDay-300x268.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"268\" \/><\/strong>Most consumers are increasingly concerned about the environment. This is also reflected in their consumption behaviour. By choosing environmentally friendly products, they try to reduce their personal carbon footprint. \u201cA sustainable packaging choice can make a significant contribution towards an eco-friendly lifestyle,\u201d states Elin Gordon, Secretary General of CEPI Eurokraft. \u201cOn the occasion of the European Paper Bag Day, we want to promote the advantages of paper bags as a natural and sustainable packaging solution that is durable at the same time. In this way, we aim to support consumers in making responsible decisions.\u201d As in previous years, members of \u201cThe Paper Bag\u201d platform will celebrate the European Paper Bag Day with different events. This year, the activities are centred around a thematic focus for the first time: the reusability of paper bags.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paper bags as reusable packaging solutions<br \/>\n<\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-36338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.converter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Paper-bag_transport_Copyright_ThePaperBag-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/>\u201cChoosing a paper bag is only the first step,\u201d says Elin Gordon. \u201cWith this year\u2019s theme, we would like to educate consumers that they should also reuse their paper bags as often as possible to minimise impacts on the environment.\u201d According to a survey by GlobalWebIndex, consumers in the US and UK have already understood the importance of reusability as they value it as the second most important factor for environmentally friendly packaging, behind only recyclability. Paper bags offer both: they can be reused several times. When the paper bag is no longer good for another shopping trip, it can be recycled. In addition to the bag, its fibres are also reusable. The long, natural fibres make them a good source for recycling. On average, the fibres are reused 3.5 times in Europe. Should a paper bag not be reused or recycled, it is biodegradable. Due to their natural compostable characteristics, paper bags degrade in a short period of time, and thanks to switching to natural water-based colours and starch-based adhesives, paper bags do not harm the environment. This further contributes to the overall sustainability of paper bags \u2013 and to the circular approach of the EU\u2019s bio-economy strategy. \u201cAll in all, when using, reusing and recycling paper bags, you do good for the environment\u201d, summarises Elin Gordon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video series tests reusability<br \/>\n<\/strong>But is it realistic to reuse paper bags more than once? In a four-part video series, the reusability of paper bags is put to the test. With heavy loads of up to 11 kilos, bumpy transport methods and contents with moisture or sharp edges, the same paper bag has to survive many different challenges. It accompanies the test person on demanding shopping trips to the supermarket and fresh market and supports him by carrying books and picnic utensils. The video series will be promoted on the social media channels of \u201cThe Paper Bag\u201d around the European Paper Bag Day and can also be watched <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6k1IsMrvXWA&amp;list=PLpPRkGQR2SUVxxsdP3EIiI4rWMtajv1P4&amp;index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to participate<br \/>\n<\/strong>All communication activities taking place around the action day will be communicated on the social media channels of \u201cThe Paper Bag\u201d under the hashtag #EuropeanPaperBagDay: on the Facebook fan page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Performance-powered-by-nature\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cPerformance powered by nature\u201d<\/a> and the LinkedIn profiles of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/eurosac\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EUROSAC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/cepi-eurokraft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CEPI Eurokraft<\/a>.
