Introduction To Non-woven Bags

Non-woven bags are products made from non-woven fabric-primarily composed of polypropylene (PP)-and are classified as plastic products. They serve as eco-friendly alternatives to non-biodegradable plastic bags and are widely used in sectors such as supermarkets, dining, and food delivery. These bags are moisture-resistant, breathable, lightweight, affordable, and washable for reuse; they produce no toxic fumes, odors, or residues when burned, and some varieties allow for screen-printed advertisements. As a new generation of eco-friendly material, standard-thickness bags can naturally decompose outdoors in approximately 90 days, while their indoor lifespan can reach up to five years.
Companies such as Nanwang Technology specialize in the R&D and manufacturing of non-woven bags-including vest-style and laminated bags-serving markets in regions like Canada and Indonesia, and holding a significant share of the global market. Industry research indicates that non-woven bags must be reused at least 11 times to effectively reduce environmental impact; however, thinner bags that fall below standard thickness specifications are prone to tearing and exhibit abnormal decomposition rates, potentially exacerbating plastic pollution. Since the implementation of China's upgraded "plastic restriction order" in 2020, supermarkets across the country have encouraged plastic reduction through measures such as promoting eco-friendly cloth bags and offering shopping basket rental services.
