Are you looking for a strong, environment-friendly carrier bag? Our bio carrier bags are the ideal solution! Bio carrier bags are made from corn starch and are 100% compostable. Their appearance and strength are similar to conventional plastic carrier bags, but they have the extra benefit of being environment-friendly.
Applications
Carrier bags made from bio materials are mainly used by bio stores and businesses that want to promote their green image or are committed to protecting the environment. They are an excellent choice as promotional carrier bags in stores or as goodie bags at trade fairs and events. Our bio carrier bags are sturdy so they can be used more than once. So what happens if you no longer need your bio bag? You can recycle or compost it.
Certification
Our bio carrier bags are certified in accordance with the European standard for compostable packaging EN13432. This means they are allowed to carry the OK Compost label. The certification applies for all aspects of the carrier bag as the inks and additives also meet the stringent requirements of the standard.
Please read the information on our ‘Certificates’ page if you want to know more about our certificates.
Printed bio carrier bags
Personalise your bio carrier bags with your logo or brand, your design or a powerful slogan. This is ideal for creating additional publicity for your store or products, and you can also highlight your environment-friendly focus. Our bio carrier bags can be printed with a personalised design in one or more Pantone colours or with a striking print in full colour.
