The article focuses on the use of calcium carbonate by plastic processors as plastic bag filler. Calcium carbonate acts as an extender ingredient in manufacturing plastic bag products such as can liners and T-shirt bags to reduce production costs and maximize product profit. The amount of fillers used in production varies depending on the application of the bag, its physical properties and how the bags are marketed.
