Global Multiwall Bags Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the multiwall bags market are focusing on developing innovative, sustainable packaging solutions, such as curbside-recyclable, grease-resistant paper-based multiwall bags, to address growing demand for eco-friendly, high-performance packaging alternatives. Curbside-recyclable, grease-resistant paper-based multiwall bags are durable multi-layer paper bags engineered to resist grease and moisture while remaining fully compatible with household curbside recycling systems, helping brands reduce plastic use, improve product protection, and support consumer and regulatory demand for more sustainable packaging. For instance, in April 2023, ProAmpac, a US-based flexible packaging and material science company, launched PRO-EVO Recyclable, a patent-pending multiwall paper-based self-opening-sack (SOS) bag platform certified for curbside recycling. The product features excellent grease resistance and edge-wicking protection without intentionally added PFAS, making it ideal for dry pet food and other grease-sensitive applications. It is also available with high moisture-barrier options to maintain product freshness and is engineered for robust shelf presence, high drop resistance, and compatibility with standard high-speed filling lines. This platform demonstrates how sustainable fiber-based multiwall packaging can meet performance requirements traditionally achieved with plastic-based or laminated structures.
