The special NaKu organic carrier bags, made from plant-based raw materials, offer many advantages for nurseries or horticultural businesses and their customers! NaKu bags are a cost-effective alternative and, unlike most paper carrier bags, are also moisture-resistant.
A study by BOKU shows that fruit, vegetables and bread stay fresh longer in NaKu bags. This freshness-keeping function means less valuable food is thrown away. This also saves CO2emissions and thus protects our climate.
NaKu bags and carrier bags are made from natural, GMO-free, and rapidly renewable raw materials, are 100% compostable, and free of pollutants and heavy metals. By using NaKu bags, garden centers are making a significant contribution to our shared environment!
The NaKu organic carrier bags are available in two sizes in the shirt-style carrier bag design. These can also be individually printed for garden centers. You can find out more about pack sizes and minimum order quantities below.
This renewable and compostable bag can also be used in Austria to hand out to customers in shops or garden centers. It is not subject to the Austrian plastic bag ban, as it can still be handed out as a light, biodegradable carrier bag. More information on Plastic bag ban you will find here.

The advantages of carrier bags based on plant-based raw materials for garden centers
moisture resistance
Unlike most paper bags, bioplastic carrier bags are moisture-resistant. Paper carrier bags are often also coated with conventional materials.
Food stays fresh longer
A study by BOKU shows that fruit, vegetables and bread stay fresh longer in NaKu bags. Thanks to this freshness-keeping function, less valuable food is thrown away.
GMO-free and free from pollutants and heavy metals
To produce the starch, we only use non-GMO corn from European agriculture. To protect health and the environment, we do not use any harmful additives such as bisphenol A, antimony or phthalates.
Fast-growing raw material
The starch used to make the organic bags comes from fast-growing corn, while paper is produced from slow-growing trees.
Compostable
The natural plastic is compostable according to DIN standard EN 13432 and is TÜV-certified. In industrial compost, the composting process of the bag takes about 3-5 days. In home compost, with regular circulation and warm weather, it takes 9-12 weeks until the bag is completely composted.
energy consumption in production
The production of paper bags and carrier bags requires significantly more energy than the production of organic carrier bags made of bioplastic. Furthermore, the paper manufacturing process - with all its additives, bleaching and drying processes - requires an enormous amount of water.
Price advantage over paper carrier bags and sacks
The NaKu organic carrier bags are significantly lighter than paper bags. This means we need significantly fewer raw materials in production. We pass this price advantage on to you.
Exempt from the Austrian plastic bag ban
As a lightweight, biodegradable carrier bag that is thinner than 15 µm, it may continue to be distributed by retailers.

Liner bag for organic boxes based on corn starch
Made based on plant-based raw materials.
Guaranteed free from harmful substances and plasticizers.
Bioplastic is compostable according to DIN 13432.
Food stays fresh longer.
Best for
► garden centers
► horticultural companies
► fruit farmers
► vegetable farmers
► Hofläden
► Farm shops
► Market stallholders
► fruit seller
► Gemüsehändler
The NaKu organic liner bag for organic crates is the ideal solution for garden centers! It is made from rapidly renewable raw materials (corn starch) from European agriculture.
With the NaKu organic insert bag, freshly harvested fruit and vegetables stay optimally fresh in the organic boxes. A lot of time passes from harvesting to packaging to delivery to your customers. With the NaKu organic insert bag, you can deliver your fruit and vegetables in the best freshness quality.
The NaKu organic plant liner is an alternative to conventional plant liners or paper plant liners, which are often coated with conventional plastic, for nurseries. Unlike most paper plant liners, it's also moisture-resistant.
The use of inserts made of recycled paper or newsprint is also problematic. This is because the printing inks used on printed paper such as newspapers or magazines contain large amounts of mineral oil compounds: so-called MOSH (mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons) and MOAH (mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons). The problem is that these substances are carcinogenic and can be dangerous to us when they come into contact with food. On this topic learn more here.
Like all NaKu products made of bioplastic (organic carrier bags, organic freezer bags, organic fresh-keeping bags, etc.), the NaKu organic insert bag for garden centers is completely biodegradable and decomposes within a few weeks on the compost according to DIN EN 13432.
