14、为更环境保护纸袋就此要消失了呢?不一定。纸质包装当下还在被广泛使用,比如礼品包装,信封,以及对肉食包装等等。当并不尤其需要塑料袋时候,用户还是愿意选取纸袋。塑料袋可能在结账处独领风骚,不过硬纸盒和纸袋在其它地方则依然受欢迎。第8页知行英语4 Plastic also receives a fair share of criticism from environmentalists.Plastic is by its very nature an“artificial”product.It is derived from crude oil and other chemicals.Produci

19、 encourages recycling.Paper companies often use a lower-grade paper pulp to produce grocery bags.This means the factory is using almost all of its supply of wood efficiently.Grocery store packers also tend to fit more products in each bag which reduces the total number of bags used per transaction.5
20、既然纸袋和塑料袋对于环境来说都不是安全选择,那么哪一个相对来说好一些呢?还是那句话,这取决于你对环境安全定义了。纸袋总是能够被回收,被扔掉以后也不会对环境有害。纸袋还能够被用来做其它用途,这么也会促进其被回收。纸品企业经惯用等级较低纸浆生产购物袋,也就是说工厂充分利用了木材这种原料。商店里负责打包店员也经常会尽可能把每个袋子装满,降低每一单生意中纸袋使用数量。不过为了防止意外破损,包装者有时候会使用尽可能多塑料袋,这种做法日久天长,就会造成巨大浪费。definitionn.定义;要求;明确recyclable a.可回收利用disposaln.丢弃;处理pulp n.纸浆transaction

24、料袋机器能够只用极少许原料制造出数百只塑料袋。再者,塑料袋原料是品质较低原油,也就意味着原油能够被愈加有效利用。正因为每一只塑料购物袋消耗原材料少,所以从环境保护角度来说,塑料袋其实是愈加好选择。最新技术进步也也带来了比以前更环境保护塑料制品。当代塑料袋最终会由尽可能少原料制成。塑料袋还能够用来装垃圾或者作为冷冻袋。如此一来会降低对更昂贵塑料制品需要。advancen.进展;进步manufacturer n.制造商;制造企业garbagen.垃圾containern.容器;集装箱第11页知行英语7 The ultimate answer between paper and plastic ma
