How paper carrier bags contribute to the circular bioeconomy

With the adoption of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), retailers and brand owners are under increasing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint. The regulation sets ambitious targets for packaging waste reduction, recyclability and responsible use of resources. Paper carrier bags meet the highest standards. They are made from renewable raw materials sourced from sustainable forest management and are reusable and recyclable.
