Description

"ALTERNATE BAG FOR PURCHASING, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT OF PRODUCTS"

This patent application is a unique and innovative alternative bag model, designed and developed especially for storage and transportation of purchases normally made in supermarkets and other similar commercial establishments.

As is well known, it is known that for the loading and transportation of purchased products, the vast majority of commercial establishments of this nature (markets, supermarkets, hypermarkets, fairs, greengrocers, warehouses, etc.) usually make their non-returnable bags made available to their customers. in plastic, given the ease of their formation and customization, coupled with a relatively low cost compared to the use of other types of raw materials.

Its enormous practicality has made many other types of establishments (shops, magazines, street stores and shopping centers in general) adhere to their use, making it virtually impossible to find a place where plastic bags are not offered for storing and transporting marketed products.

Such bags, however, end up being freely disposed of in the wild or used for the storage of rubbish and waste, later collected by the urban clearing services, or worse, thrown into vacant lots, rivers, streams and illegal waste disposal sites.

It turns out that the irresponsible and random use, release and disposal of plastic bags in the environment have gained enormous repercussions. In the same vein, add concern related to ecological aspects, has been increasingly alarming evidence of the environmental problems caused by the indiscriminate use of plastic discols, further aggravated by the time of deterioration of this type of matter in nature.

Just to give you an idea, there are scientifically proven studies that future generations will already face the consequences of the irresponsible disposal of this product, which has been altering and negatively influencing the most diverse ecosystems.

For example, there are reports of sea animals that have been found dead by swallowing plastic matter because they are unable to distinguish entrainment from organic and inorganic matter. It is known that the diminution or disappearance of a species in its habitat also causes a chaos and ecological imbalance, reflecting in the whole plant and animal chain that represents living beings.

As an alternative way of mitigating only part of these recognized problems, some commercial establishments and supply chains have been adopting, stimulating and making available bags made in other types of materials, more resistant and returnable, proposing a gradual replacement to traditional plastic bags.

Although some of these establishments are currently only shyly committing themselves to the issue, unfortunately involved only by the marketing aspect and seizing on the lucrative opportunities caused by the "green wave", a small but important step of encouragement and awareness of the population can already be celebrated. general about the problem presented here.

However, what can be seen is that the alternative bags "offered" by the shopping networks in general, bring only a more resistant artifact and obtained in less aggressive materials and less negative impact on nature, mainly because they add the characteristic of being returnable, proposing, obviously not randomly disposing of them, as with conventional plastic bags. Because it does not bring any other device, practical, attractive or utilitarian, nothing prevents consumers from forgetting or even just starting to pack such alternative bags, and also not wanting to carry them each time they have to make some kind of purchase. Also, because many commercial establishments involved in the "green wave" are making alternative bags available through the consumer's disbursement of a certain amount, the habit of using plastic bags tends, for the time being, to shrink almost negligibly.

In this sense, considering only some of the drawbacks reported above, and aiming to offer the public a more attractive, practical and efficient way to store and transport products in ecologically correct artifacts, it was designed and developed the present alternative shopping bag, consisting basically of of an article preferably obtained in nylon, also combining materials such as resin or plasticized polyester and cotton canvas, forming, when fully opened, a kind of box box, too spacious and capable of containing a large amount of products at once.
