Paper carrier bags in a new look: bamboo

The world of packaging never stands still. At Marisan, we are constantly exploring new materials and solutions that align with the evolving expectations of retailers and consumers. That’s why we are now adding a new type of carrier bag to our range: bamboo carrier bags.

These sturdy paper carrier bags are made from bamboo fibre instead of traditional wood pulp. Bamboo is a fast-growing plant, making it an interesting alternative to conventional paper raw materials.

The result? A carrier bag that offers the same functionality as a classic paper bag, but with an innovative material story.

Bamboo is increasingly used as a raw material in sustainable products. This is largely due to the way the plant grows.

Bamboo often reaches maturity within 3 to 5 years, whereas trees used for paper production may take 20 to 30 years to grow. This makes bamboo a rapidly renewable resource.

In addition, bamboo fibres naturally have a long and flexible structure. This allows for the production of strong paper suitable for applications such as carrier bags.
