Paper Bag Day

History of The Paper Bags:

Long back, in 1871, inventor Margaret E. Knight designed a machine that created flat-bottomed paper bags. This was followed by Charles Stilwell, who created a machine that made square-bottom paper bags with pleated sides, in 1883. The bags, that are widely used now, are the one with handles, which was created by Walter Deubener in 1912.

Word Paper Day:

Paper bags are an environment-friendly alternative to the harmful plastic bags and “Paper Bag Day” is celebrated worldwide on July 12. The day aims to spread awareness about using paper bags instead of plastic bags to help reduce plastic waste, that take thousands of years to decompose.

Millions of people have switched to paper bags which are reusable as well as 100% recyclable and can decompose within just a month, being biodegradable. Paper bags are safer for pets and other animals too as they are harmless when they consume it along with eatables.
