Carry Change Forward: Why Biodegradable Carry Bags Are the Smarter Packaging Choice

10 Jul 2025

From retail counters to takeout windows, carry bags are everywhere. But conventional plastic bags have a serious downside—they’re single-use, petroleum-based, and notoriously slow to decompose.

That’s where biodegradable carry bags step in. Built to perform just like regular bags—but made from plant-based sustainable alternatives—these bags offer a clean, modern solution for businesses that care about impact and responsibility.

What Are Biodegradable Carry Bags?

Biodegradable carry bags are durable, lightweight bags made from renewable materials like cornstarch, instead of petroleum plastic. These bags are designed to break down naturally in composting environments, leaving no lasting waste.

Unlike traditional plastic bags that sit in landfills for hundreds of years, these eco-alternatives decompose within months—making them ideal for conscious operations at scale.


Why Businesses Are Making the Switch

Whether you're running a store, food outlet, pharmacy, or delivery service, switching to eco-friendly carry bags can:

  • Reduce your company’s plastic footprint

  • Support local and global sustainability goals

  • Meet emerging packaging laws and eco-standards

  • Send a powerful message to customers about your values

Every carry bag handed out is a chance to do things better—and greener.
