Global Compostable Bags Market Research Report 2025(Status and Outlook)
Description
Report Overview
Compostable bags are biodegradable packaging solutions designed to break down into natural elements under specific composting conditions, typically within industrial composting facilities that maintain high temperatures and microbial activity. These bags are made from plant-based materials like cornstarch, PLA (polylactic acid), or PBAT (polybutylene adipate terephthalate), which decompose into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass without leaving toxic residues. Unlike conventional plastic bags, compostable bags meet stringent certifications (e.g., ASTM D6400, EN 13432) verifying their ability to decompose within a set timeframe. They are increasingly adopted in waste management, food packaging, and retail as sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics, driven by environmental regulations and consumer demand for eco-friendly products. However, their performance and decomposition efficiency depend on proper disposal in composting facilities, as they may not degrade effectively in landfills or home composting systems.
The global Compostable Bags market size was estimated at USD 2002.2 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.50% during the forecast period.
