Non-Plastic Paper Bags

Non-plastic paper bags are likely to be widely used in the near future. The reasons are as follows:   • Policy promotion: Many places around the world have introduced plastic restriction policies, such as the EU's regulations to completely ban disposable plastic products in 2025, which will create a demand for about 600,000 tons of paper replacement. China has clearly required that the replacement rate of degradable materials be increased to 30% by 2025.   • Environmental protection needs: Plastic pollution issues are increasingly concerned, and consumers' environmental awareness is constantly improving, and they are more inclined to choose environmentally friendly packaging products. Non-plastic paper bags are usually made of natural fibers, which can be naturally decomposed, conform to the concept of environmental protection, and can meet consumers' demand for environmentally friendly products.   • Broad market prospects: According to relevant survey data, the global paper consumer bag market size has reached US$24.3 billion in 2023, and is expected to expand at an average annual compound growth rate of 8.7%, and is expected to exceed the US$40 billion mark by 2030.   • Technological progress: The annual average growth rate of R&D investment in related technologies such as waterproof and oil-proof coating technology and degradable composite materials is 15%, which promotes the development of non-plastic paper bags towards high strength and multi-function, so that they can better meet the needs of different application scenarios, such as waterproof, oil-proof, heat-sealed and other functions, and can replace some plastic packaging.   • Active participation of enterprises: Many well-known companies at home and abroad actively promote the use of recyclable and reusable packaging products. LIke P&G, ESSITY and Unicharm, they have already have products in paper bag package.   With the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and consumers, it is believed that in the near future, non-plastic paper bags will be more widely used in daily necessities (like sanitary napkin paper pouch, diaper paper pouch, tissue paper pouch, breast nursing pads paper pouch etc), food packaging, express parcels and other fields.
