Trash Bag: Difference between Clear and Black
In purchasing trash bags there are a few questions that are asked and answered while other questions are overlooked. When a job is at hand the easily asked and answered questions are size, thickness, and price of the bags. However, there is one particular question often not asked that may impact the purchase. That question is what are the differences between
clear trash bags and a
black trash bags and which factors should determine which type to purchase? The following should be taken into consideration when deciding between clear and black.
- Black Trash Bag:
o Often Lower Cost
o Assuredly will contain Recycled Material
- Clear Trash Bags
o If transferring, separating, transporting clear is absolutely needed
o No contaminants to worry about interacting with the waste within the bag.
For the budget conscious the black
trash bag will be often the right choice when compared to similar size and thickness of a clear bag. The black color allows for manufactures to add fillers and plastic scrap. It’s also nice to note that black trash bags, though cheaper, in performance will be equivalent to clear bags. For those who may be conscious of the environment and the carbon foot print factor black is again the way to go. Because much of the scrap that is recycled comes from the manufactures own facility there is very little wasted created. Also, many manufactures of
black trash bags will utilize scrap from other manufactures as well as consumer recyclables. So if you see a black trash bag you can be assured that very little waste was created in the making of the bag and is a sign that recycled materials were used for the product.
For those who utilize trash bags for more than waste clear bags is most likely what needs to be purchased. For individuals and companies that may be transferring, transporting, and/or separating waste by category the clear bag allows for those responsible of handling the bags to see what is inside. Secondly, clear bags will be manufactured without any fillers or scrap, assuring the user that the bag not compromise the integrity of items within the bag.
