Every year, World Paper Bag Day is observed on July 12 to raise awareness of the importance of using paper bags instead of plastic bags.
The usage of plastic bags is a global concern that not only harms the environment but also is a threat to human health.
The theme for this year is “If You’re ‘Fantastic’, Do Something ‘Dramatic’ To Cut the ‘Plastic’, Use ‘Paper Bags".
The first-ever paper bag machine was invented in 1852 by an American, Francis Wole. Later, in the year 1871, another paper bag manufacturing machine was invented by Margaret E Knight.
Paper bags are eco-friendly, recyclable and the main purpose of the paper day coming into existence.
