The region of Murcia agrees to reduce the consumption of single use bags

The manufacturers of plastic bags more representative of Spain, associated to Afilpla, Spanish Association of Manufacturers of Film and Stock exchanges, that is the Sectorial Group of Film and Stock exchanges of Anaip, Spanish Association of Manufacturers of plastics, consider very positive for this industry the step given by the Government of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia, to include to the reusable stock exchange of Polyethylene, normalised by Aenor and certified, as one of the axles of the campaign “Region of Clean Murcia”. We come working for this from does months, and this decision will help us to be followed keeping us esperanzados, on the future feasibility of the Subsector of manufacture of plastic bags in Spain, says Enrique Galician, General Director of Anaip. 

Anaip Comes working from does months so that the corresponding authorities consider, to this reusable stock exchange of Polyethylene, as one of the measures that will help to a tangible reduction of the number of units of stock exchanges consumed in Spain, and that to his time, will have lower impact of destruction of employment in our country, when can be manufactured by the same factories that now manufacture the stock exchange of an alone use, in front of other solutions like the use of other alternative reusable stock exchanges, that, in addition to being mattered in his whole of Asia, with the consequent negative effect on our industry, are less respectful with the environingingment. Of the contrary  would lose around 6.000 places of work in this industry. 

The stock exchange normalised by Aenor, is of greater capacity that the current, with what reduces the number of units used, is more resistant that the current, guaranteeing a minimum of 15 uses, and is 100% recyclable. Besides, the manufacture of the same has to fulfil some environingingmental maximum requirements (consumption of water and of electrical power, and impressesion with inks to the water or no harmful to the environingingment) (www.bolsacoco.es). Beside all this, this stock exchange pays in the actuality the price “green point” (472 by tonne) to Ecoembes to contribute to the costs of collected selective and of recycled.
