🌍 Exploring Alternatives to Plastic: The Rise of 'Biodegradable Bags'

With the global initiative to reduce plastic usage gaining momentum, **'Oxo-biodegradable bags'** are garnering attention.
This solution involves adding an oxo-degradable additive to traditional polyethylene (PE) bags, enabling them to naturally decompose through exposure to light, heat, and oxygen over time.
This approach allows the utilization of existing production lines, offering a competitive advantage in price, functionality, and environmental friendliness. As a result, distribution/logistics and e-commerce brands worldwide are rapidly adopting it.

🔍 2024–2025 Oxo-biodegradable Trends:

♻ Minimizing Conversion Costs: The transition to eco-friendly solutions using existing PE bag lines presents low barriers to adoption.
🧪 Utilizing Internationally Verified Technologies: Major oxo additives like D2W conform to standards such as ASTM D6954 and BS8472.
🎯 Enhanced Functionality: Maintains the same strength, waterproofing, and sealing capabilities as traditional plastic.
📦 Optimized for B2B Mass Supply: Suitable for large-scale logistics with shopping malls, courier companies, and clothing brands.

Connect Global provides a range of bag products based on D2W oxo-biodegradable materials,
offering OEM/ODM solutions supported by one-tone to full-color printing and customization, and various sizes and shapes.

🌽 Returning Plastics to Nature: The Evolution of PLA Biodegradable Bags

**PLA (Polylactic Acid)**, derived from corn starch, sugarcane, and other sources, is a biodegradable plastic,
and has recently become a highly acclaimed fully biodegradable material.
It possesses transparency and flexibility similar to conventional plastic and fully decomposes under industrial composting conditions.
In European and North American markets, meeting certification standards such as **'OK Compost' and 'EN13432'** is increasingly becoming mandatory,
leading to rapid growth in demand for PLA-based bags.

🔍 2024–2025 PLA Biodegradable Trends:

🌱 Compliance with Full Biodegradability Certifications: Meeting EN13432, ASTM D6400 standards is mandatory for products exported to Europe.
👁‍🗨 Options for Transparent/Matte Texture: Suitable for high-end packaging in food, cosmetic samples, and tea bags.
🖨 Expansion of Eco-friendly Printing: Utilization of solvent-free eco-friendly printing techniques and bespoke design applications.
🛍 Focus on Small, High Value-added Packaging: Increasing demand for sample/small packet packaging over traditional shopping bags.

Connect Global applies corn-based PLA biodegradable bags for various products such as cosmetic sample pouches, tea bag packaging, and small food bags,
and is advancing as an eco-friendly packaging solution aligned with ESG management principles using internationally certified materials.
We provide one-stop solutions for global buyers, including multilingual guides, export documentation, and OEM customization.
