Breakfast bags are a popular way of storing meals for later consumption. They are used by people of all ages, from school children to adult workers. For years, the main form of packaging was plastic bags. In recent years, this non-ecological trend is starting to reverse. Consumers are becoming more aware of their responsibility for the planet. More and more people choose ecological paper bags. The choice of this product is also dictated by the price. Paper lunch bags are not subject to the recycling fee. This means that the price for them is lower for the store and customers.
Why does paper beat plastic?
For the production and sale of one plastic bag to offset the ecological burden, it would have to be used for several years. The decomposition time of foil can be up to hundreds of years, which is really long! Less than 100 years of production of this type of product have caused destruction of nature on a terrifying scale. We are talking about the Pacific Garbage Patch, a collection of garbage with an area of 1.6 million km². For comparison, the area of Poland is 322,575 km². Paper lunch bags come to the rescue of the environment. Products made of this material are highly biodegradable, requiring an average of 6 months to do so.
There are often opinions on the Internet that paper production is harmful to the environment. The reason for this is cutting down trees, but these conclusions are not correct. For forests to grow healthy, tree stands need to be thinned. This allows tree crowns to grow and gives young plants access to light. According to scientific research, old trees not only do not process enough CO², but also absorb oxygen. The optimal way to ensure the balance of carbon dioxide absorption is to cut down old trees and plant young mixed forests. When managed wisely, the cost to the environment is negligible. 
It is worth choosing companies that focus on ecology. The type of packaging we choose is crucial to the direction we will take as a world. It is worth taking care of the future of future generations today.
What type of breakfast bags should you choose?
There are several types of paper bags on the market: bags without handles: block, folded, and bags with string, twisted and flat handles. When it comes to colors, gray and white paper bags are dominant. Small folded paper breakfast bags are perfect for all kinds of buns, sandwiches and various types of cookies and baked goods. They conveniently allow you to store food without causing the meal to become saturated with microplastics.
Paper bags with a window are an excellent form of advertising for bakeries. The bags perfectly present the contents, and the back is covered with a print and can display the company logo. Eye-catching graphics build brand recognition among customers who will associate the logo with pleasure. This type of marketing is most often chosen by companies aware of the most effective forms of self-promotion. One of the most important features encouraging a purchase is the packaging. A good product appearance changes customer perception, and the white color is particularly well perceived. According to color psychology, it symbolizes freshness, purity and youth. Combined with black, it gives the impression of dealing with a luxury product. Choosing the color brown creates the image of the company as caring for the environment, brown and green are the colors of nature. Remember that the visual aspect is one of the most important aspects that drive customer experience.
