"Join the Green Revolution: Recycle Your Plastic Bags and Protect Our Planet"

At Baanidin, while plastic bags are occasionally used to package herbal compress balls, the company is committed to minimizing plastic use as much as possible. Instead, Baanidin primarily relies on sustainable materials such as paper and glass bottles for packaging. This approach aligns with the company’s philosophy of promoting environmentally friendly products that have minimal impact on the planet.

The use of plastic bags is strictly limited to cases where additional protection for the product is necessary. However, Baanidin focuses on using biodegradable and natural materials, which is in line with the global trend towards sustainability and the growing preference for eco-friendly products.

How to Recycle:

Please separate the plastic bags according to their number (1 through 5). Each number corresponds to a different type of plastic:

1. PET or PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate) - Symbol 1

Properties: PET is a clear, strong, and lightweight plastic commonly used for beverage bottles, food containers, and packaging. It's known for its excellent moisture barrier properties.

Recycling: PET is widely accepted in recycling programs and is commonly recycled into products like polyester fibers for clothing, carpeting, and reusable containers.

2. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) - Symbol 2

Properties: HDPE is a tough, durable plastic with a high strength-to-density ratio. It is often used for milk jugs, detergent bottles, and grocery bags.

Recycling: HDPE is easily recyclable and can be turned into items like plastic lumber, piping, and recycled containers.

3. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) - Symbol 3

Properties: PVC is a versatile plastic used in products that require durability, such as pipes, window frames, and medical equipment. It can be flexible or rigid.

Recycling: PVC is less commonly recycled due to the complexity of its composition, which can release harmful chemicals when processed.

4. LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) - Symbol 4

Properties: LDPE is flexible, tough, and lightweight, making it ideal for applications like plastic bags, film wraps, and squeeze bottles.

Recycling: LDPE is more challenging to recycle but can be processed into products like garbage bags, floor tiles, and paneling.

5. PP (Polypropylene) - Symbol 5

Properties: PP is known for its high melting point, making it suitable for hot-filled products. It’s used in yogurt containers, bottle caps, and straws.

Recycling: PP is recyclable and is often repurposed into products such as signal lights, battery cables, and brooms.

Understanding these symbols can help consumers make informed choices about recycling and disposal, contributing to a more sustainable environment.

When you use products from Baanidin and notice that plastic is used in the packaging, please know that we strive to minimize plastic usage to protect the environment. You can contribute to making our world more sustainable by sending these plastic bags for recycling through the appropriate channels.
