Guide to the Use of PVC bags
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) bags are widely used in packaging, storage and other fields due to their low cost, high transparency and good flexibility. However, PVC bags contain plasticizers (such as phthalates), which may release harmful substances when exposed to high temperatures or in contact with oils. Therefore, they should be used with caution. The following is the detailed user guide:
——————————————————————————–
First, precautions before use
Confirm the purpose
Do not allow contact with food: PVC bags must not come into direct contact with oily foods (such as meat and cooked food), hot food or be used for microwave heating. High temperatures and oils will accelerate the migration of plasticizers into food.
Recommended uses: Suitable for packaging fresh produce such as vegetables, fruits, and dried goods that are not prone to spoilage and do not require direct consumption, or as packaging bags for industrial and daily necessities.
Check the quality
Observe whether the bag body is transparent and free of impurities, and whether the seal is firm. Avoid using damaged or deformed bags.

Second, the correct usage method
Avoid high-temperature environments
Do not place PVC bags in high-temperature areas (such as direct sunlight or near radiators), or use them to hold hot drinks or hot food.
When using heat packs in winter, avoid direct contact of PVC bags with high-temperature surfaces.
Prevent contact with grease
Avoid using PVC bags to package fried foods, sauces and other high-fat items to prevent plasticizers from leaching out.
Store items correctly
Place the items steadily into the bag to avoid sharp objects scratching the bag body.
The items to be loaded should not be too heavy to prevent the bags from breaking.
Sealing and Preservation
After use, try to seal the bag opening as tightly as possible to reduce the entry of dust and moisture.
Store in a dry and cool place, away from direct sunlight.

Third, post-use handling
Classification and recycling
Put the discarded PVC bags into the recyclable trash can to support environmental protection and recycling.
If the bag is severely contaminated or damaged, it needs to be disposed of as other waste.
Reduce usage
Encourage the use of reusable cloth bags, paper bags or degradable plastic bags, and reduce the frequency of using PVC bags.

Fourth, Safety tips
Child safety
Keep children away from PVC bags to prevent the risk of accidental ingestion or suffocation.
Health risk
Long-term exposure to PVC bags may cause health problems due to the migration of plasticizers, especially for pregnant women and children who need to pay special attention.

Fifth, alternative solutions
Food-grade packaging
Choose food-grade plastic bags made of materials such as PE (polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene), or use containers made of glass, ceramics, stainless steel, etc. to store food.
Degradable materials
Give priority to shopping bags made of degradable materials such as PLA (polylactic acid) and PBAT (polyadipate/butylene terephthalate).
——————————————————————————–
Summary
Although PVC bags are common, they should be used with caution to avoid contact with high temperatures, oils and food. The correct use and recycling of PVC bags can not only ensure health but also reduce environmental pollution. It is recommended to give priority to choosing safer packaging materials and jointly promote a green lifestyle.
