In 2020, a ban on plastic bags came into effect throughout Austria. Very lightweight, biodegradable plastic carrier bags are exempt from the ban. You can easily purchase our solution via our webshop: NaKu lightweight carrier bag.
NaKu relies on plant-based starch from European, non-GMO agriculture. This results in breathable, water-resistant bags that are free of pollutants and plasticizers and compostable according to DIN EN 13432 – without permanent microplastics.
In the face of global challenges such as food waste, plastic pollution and resource scarcity, organic farmers and organic retailers must continuously seek innovative ways to optimize their processes and seamlessly close the sustainability chain all the way to the end customer.
The landscape of carrier bags is diverse. Each material brings specific properties – and not all are as environmentally friendly as they appear at first glance.
