【Industry Insight】37% of North American Consumers Reject Plastic Packaging — Eco Bags Gain New Momentum

Our Perspective on a Sustainable Shift

🗓 July 14, 2025 — The Wall Street Journal published a striking statistic:

37% of North American consumers refuse to purchase products with unsustainable plastic packaging, and in Europe, the figure climbs to 42%. Moreover, 80% of respondents believe that today’s packaging is “excessive” or outright wasteful.

This shift indicates that sustainable packaging is no longer a bonus, but a core decision factor, forcing brands to adapt or risk losing market share and credibility.

 

💡 Why PP Woven Bags Stand Out

In the face of the global eco-packaging movement, PP (polypropylene) woven bags offer distinct advantages:

  • ♻️ Recyclable & Reusable – Meet environmental standards in US and EU markets

  • 💪 High Load Capacity & Water Resistance – Outperform paper or thin plastic bags

  • 🎨 Custom Branding & Printing Support – Enhance your brand visibility through packaging

  • ⚙️ Efficient Mass Production – Ideal for bulk retail, e-commerce, and logistics

 

🏭 From Trend to Action — Our Sustainable Commitment

As a manufacturer with over 20 years of experience in PP woven bag production, Foshan Nanhai East Plastic Woven Co., Ltd. is leading the way in eco-packaging transformation:

  • 1000+ automated sewing machines introduced to boost efficiency

  • Full support for recycled polypropylene (rPP) to reduce environmental impact

  • Daily output of 20,000 units; monthly capacity of 600,000+ bags ensures timely large-scale supply

  • Products exported to 30+ countries, including the US, Europe, Middle East, and Southeast Asia

We firmly believe that sustainable packaging is not just a regulatory response—it’s a reflection of brand responsibility and market competitiveness.

 

🧠 Our Take: Sustainability is Core to Brand Competitiveness

We’ve observed a major shift: for consumers today, “eco-friendly” is no longer optional—it’s expected. With their durability, environmental friendliness, and visual appeal, PP woven bags are fast becoming the go-to solution for modern brand packaging.

Meanwhile, global retailers are raising the bar: Walmart, Costco, and others are increasingly adopting goals such as “reducing plastic” and “supporting circular packaging.” This isn't just a trend — it's a supply chain evolution.
