Why not a heavy polythene that's stronger and waterproof?

bags like that hold in moisture so if there any air in there once sealed will cause the cement to harden.... that y paper!
plus paper ones can jsut be thrown in and mixed up when makin large quantities... plastic ones would have o be removed!

You don't need cement in a tin can or heavy polythene whatnot because you aren't trying to preserve it. The first thing that happens when you get your cement bag is open it and use it all up. Paper is also biodegradable and is less of a disposal problem. Expensive packaging only increases the cost of cement.

If it ain't broke don't fix it! The paper does a good enough job and is recyclable so much better than plastic in that respect! Also paper can be burnt (might be useful!) and is easier to open the packaging. I agree with Jitty too!

maybe because cement being rapped in paper is more better as it protects the cement from going bad.

The cost would be too much. Paper is just fine. There's no reason to.

It's because when they through their bags down their load spills everywhere.

If it was fabric or sacking it would seep through and if it was plastic perhaps it would sweat?
That my theory if that's not right, I don't know.
