A garbage bag, garbage bag, garbage bag, or garbage liner is a disposable plastic bag used to store waste materials. They are mostly made of plastic for durable and efficient use and they even come in different colors. Aside from the usual idea that they are only made to organize garbage, it is also good to note that they can contain any other material and that their different colors signify their use.
APPLICATIONS
Trash bags are perhaps one of the few things that we hardly notice every day unless we run out of them around the house and recognize their importance. They are the always friendly solution for proper disposal of everyday household waste such as food waste or dirt. But they are not only useful for housewives, housekeepers or janitors, they are also equally important for industrial and commercial use to transport debris and maintain a clean environment everywhere.
Trash liners are used to line the inside of trash bins to prevent their interior from being surrounded by trash. When the bag is full of sand, it can be closed by its edges by pulling it up and tying it with a string to avoid contact with the waste material and minimize its odor.
In addition to wrapping trash, trash bags are also useful for storing dry leaves from the garden, good old clothes for gifts, and toys that need to be sealed. Outdoors, these handy trash bags can hold shredded office papers, medical waste from hospitals, and styrofoam containers from fast food restaurants.
COLORS
Trash bags or garbage bags generally come in different sizes and thicknesses to fit any size garbage bins, but it is also noticeable that they come in different colors. However, these colors aren’t just made to make trash look aesthetically good on the eyes. The colors also serve as signs to organize what garbage is supposed to be inside.
These are the meanings of the colors of the garbage bags that we see around us. So the next time we dump that garbage, we would know where to properly place them:
1. Black – is generally for non-biodegradable and non-infectious garbage, such as plastic cans, polystyrene, candy wrappers, etc.
2. Green: it is for biodegradable materials such as food scraps, fruit and vegetable peels, leaves, twigs, etc.
3. Red – Commonly used in hospitals for biohazard waste such as blood syringes, test tubes, human waste, etc.
4. Blue: generally used for industrial materials such as glass, heavy plastics, etc.
5. Transparent: normally used to store recyclable products such as cans, bottles, papers, etc.
