it is much cheaper to produce paper perfume gift box

When it comes to cost, it is much cheaper to produce paper perfume gift box over a paper one. The drawback is, plastic is a petroleum product. However, it only takes approximately .003%of oil per barrel to produce a lot of plastic bags. At least 100,000 birds and marine life die each year because of the plastic that liters our beaches and other public places. This could be one of the reasons for the choice of paper over plastic in the San Francisco area.

Paper bag production takes one 20 year old tree and four times the energy to produce 700 bags. In 1999, America cut down 14 million trees to produce 10 billion paper bags, and that was just for that year. The impact on our forests is mind boggling. The forests are a major absorber of green house gases. When we cut them down, and then use clean water and chemicals to produce the pulp to manufacture printed wine boxes, we create more greenhouse gases. The sad thing is there is not enough forest areas left to absorb the pollutants. It doesn't stop there, hence, not enough trees to help with run-off from heavy rain. So, we've seen more severe flooding in recent years.
