The plastic bag ban is great for paper bag manufacturers around the world Nov 29th
Plastic bags have come under heavy attack in recent years
due to the heavy pollution they cause both in our waterways and our cities.
This poor publicity has led to more people adopting more eco-friendly
alternatives.
Whilst plastic bags are still widely used around the world
paper bags are becoming increasingly popular as many countries have started to
disincentivise or flat out ban plastic bags. Here are some of the different
ways paper bags are being introduced around the world.
Increased demand for
biodegradable bags in India
Plastic pollution is a big problem in India and the
government is trying to do something about it. On October 2, India started to initiate the ban on 6 plastic products in
the country.
This concluded of plastic bags, cups, plates, single-use bottles and straws.
The move is attempting to cover all aspects of the economy
in India, from manufacturing to usage and imports. This ban has provided a good
opportunity for paper bag manufacturers in the country. Production has stepped
up with ecofriendly paper bags being favoured over plastic ones.
The growth of the paper bag industry in the country is
being supported by the wider growth of the paper market. The rising demand for
education and increasing literacy rate is leading to a lot of ‘paper moguls’ taking
advantage of the gap in the market.
Paper bags are being
increasingly adopted in the UK
Every week it seems that a new retailer is seeking some
positive publicity by adopting paper bags in their supermarkets. Beyond the
main shopping bags, now bakery and vegetable smaller bags are becoming more
paper-based. Tesco is the latest business to offer paper bags as part of their
shopping experience. In addition to this suppliers to Tesco have been told that
the supermarket reserves the right to refuse items that use too much or hard to
recycle plastic.
Make the switch to paper bags
for your business and the environment
The public in the UK and in other countries are
increasingly wanting paper bags in the stores that they shop in as they are
better for the environment and often have a more quality feel than plastic
ones. Luckily there are plenty of paper bag suppliers out there with the expertise to meet the new
demand for their product.
