“Growing Adoption of Biodegradable and Compostable Bags”
One of the key trends in the retail bags market is the growing adoption of biodegradable and compostable bags as sustainability concerns drive regulatory and consumer shifts. Governments worldwide are imposing strict bans on single-use plastic bags, pushing retailers to explore eco-friendly alternatives such as paper bags, compostable bioplastics, and reusable fabric bags. For instance, Coveris has expanded its portfolio with fully recyclable and biodegradable carrier bags to meet the increasing demand for sustainable packaging. Similarly, Novolex has introduced compostable shopping bags for grocery stores and food service applications, reducing environmental impact while maintaining durability. This trend is further fueled by consumer preferences for responsibly sourced materials, encouraging brands to invest in innovative and sustainable retail packaging solutions. As major supermarket chains and retailers worldwide prioritize environmentally friendly bagging options, the market is expected to see continued growth in compostable and recyclable materials, reshaping the future of retail packaging.
