The USA continues to assert its dominance in the North American compostable and biodegradable refuse bags market, maintaining a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.2% and reaching a valuation of US$ 140.5 million during the forecast period, according to FMI. This growth is propelled by heightened consumer awareness, the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies, and the presence of key market players.

The global compostable and biodegradable refuse bags market is set to experience a substantial surge over the next decade, growing from a valuation of USD 318.1 million in 2023 to USD 653.0 million by 2033. The demand for sustainable, eco-friendly refuse bags is expected to increase at a CAGR of 7.5% between 2023 and 2033, as industries and consumers alike prioritize environmentally conscious waste management solutions.

The escalating demand for compostable & biodegradable refuse bags is driven by several factors, including the global shift towards eco-friendly materials and heightened health consciousness among consumers. As plastic pollution continues to pose a significant threat to the environment, there is a growing emphasis on adopting sustainable alternatives.

The proliferation of technology and government initiatives aimed at promoting eco-friendly materials further augments market opportunities for compostable & biodegradable refuse bags. End-use industries such as retail, institutional, and industrial sectors are increasingly adopting these bags, spurred by the need for sustainable waste management practices.

Moreover, the rapid growth of organic products and the focus on sustainability are fueling demand for compostable & biodegradable refuse bags across various sectors. From hospitals and hotels to restaurants and households, there is a growing preference for eco-friendly waste disposal solutions.

Manufacturers are focused on manufacturing sustainable bags to reduce environmental plastic pollution. According to a survey, around 150 million metric tons (MMT) of plastic are already floating in the oceans, and due to its hazardous chemicals, millions of aquatic animal’s life die annually.

Moreover, several reports found that microplastics can affect plants’ soil pH and rooting ability. Therefore, manufacturers have been using eco-friendly solutions to develop paper bags to control environmental pollution.
