1/ Why use the disposable Lohas bag?

At present, "white pollution" - the environmental pollution caused by nylon bags is at an alarming rate worldwide. Vietnam currently ranks fourth among Asian countries (after China, Indonesia and the Philippines) that generate huge amount of plastic waste (according to Thanh Nien News). On average, in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, about 80 tons of plastic are released. "A survey was conducted at the largest waste disposal site in Hanoi where 4,500 tons of waste are received each day. It reveals that when digging up a pile of garbage buried 20 years ago, although the organic humus has drifted away, the plastic bags were still intact, "- according to VTV News.

It takes only 1 second to dispose of a nylon bag but it takes 500 - 1,000 years to decompose the bag in the absence of sunlight. As a result, the consequence of plastic waste and nylon bags is very serious.
