Sacks can have multiple effects on our environment. The paper sack system uses more renewable energy sources (0.19 MJ). Paper are more recycable for the environment than plastic, and the same holds true for paper sacks. Paper sacks are more recycable than plastic bags. For instance, since burlap sacks are mostly composed of natural fibers like jute, which are fully biodegradable—that is, they can naturally break down back into the soil without leaving behind hazardous waste—they are regarded as an environmentally friendly substitute for plastic bags when used properly and reused whenever feasible.
