Cost

• Perhaps the biggest advantage of polyethylene bags and bottles is that they are cheap to manufacture. Compared to other materials, polyethylene is one of the less expensive options. As a result, manufacturing large volumes of bags and bottles can be done at minimal cost.

Durability

• Another benefit is the durable nature of polyethylene. This is especially important for bottles, and prevents breaking or cracking if a bottle is dropped. In addition, polyethylene is extremely lightweight, which means less weight in bulk packaging.

Keeps Moisture Out

• The fact that polyethylene keeps moisture out makes it an effective substance for plastic bags. This means that food inside a polyethylene bag can sit in a refrigerator and be safe from condensation. As a result, food can be preserved for substantial lengths of time.

Safety

• The fact that polyethylene is safe for food contact is a big advantage. Some other plastics contain chemicals that are unsafe for using with food. Fortunately, polyethylene is completely harmless and can be used for transporting and storing all types of food.

Can be Recycled

• In a world where conservation and eco-mindedness is increasingly important, polyethylene is beneficial because it can be recycled. This reduces pollution and cuts down on needless waste, which helps limit damage to the ecosystem.
