Standard plastic bags cause significant pollution in land and water bodies due to their slow decomposition rate. Biodegradable paper bags are considered a sustainable, eco-friendly, and stylish alternative as they are easy to manufacture and non-toxic to the environment. Retail players are now switching to paper bags as they help protect the environment and are easily recyclable and reusable. The wide adoption of biodegradable paper bags is anticipated to propel market development over the coming decade.
There is a growing need for sustainable packaging, so the demand for eco-friendly alternatives is increasing. The government has implemented regulations on single-use plastic bags, further encouraging the growth of the paper bag market. Many companies are now adopting sustainable practices to meet customer demand and fulfill their responsibilities toward society.
Utilizing locally available materials to manufacture paper bags is a cost-effective approach that leads to energy savings. Most paper bags are made from unbleached paper due to their ability to conserve natural resources and reduce the greenhouse gas effect, contributing to a reduction in carbon footprint. The adoption of paper bags in retail and other industries is expected to increase due to their environmental benefits, which is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
“Biodegradable paper bags are gaining popularity as a sustainable and eco-friendly substitute for plastic bags. Many companies are switching to paper bags due to rising government regulations and customer demand for sustainable practices. Customized paper bags are also becoming popular in eCommerce businesses to enhance the unboxing experience and promote the brand. Using locally available materials to manufacture paper bags helps save energy and reduce costs. The adoption of biodegradable paper bags is expected to boost market growth in the coming years,” Says Lead Analyst Ismail Sutaria in Packaging at Future Market Insights (FMI).
