Sustainable Solutions: Unveiling the Compostable & Biodegradable Refuse Bags Market to reach US$ 653.0 million by 2033

The compostable & biodegradable refuse bags market is predicted at a valuation of US$ 318.1 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 653.0 million by 2033. The market is likely to register a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period.

Compostable and biodegradable refuse bags have gained significant traction in recent years, driven by the growing awareness of plastic pollution and the need for sustainable waste management solutions. These bags are made from plant-based materials such as cornstarch, potato starch, and polylactic acid (PLA), which are renewable resources and can be easily broken down by natural processes. Unlike traditional plastic bags, compostable and biodegradable refuse bags do not contribute to the accumulation of non-biodegradable waste in landfills and marine ecosystems.
