Paper Bags vs Plastic Bags for Australian Businesses | Test Company

The Shift Away from Plastic

Australia has been progressively banning single-use plastics at a state and territory level. For retailers and food businesses this means paper bags are no longer just a trend - they are becoming the standard.

Why Paper Bags Work

• Recyclable and compostable: Most paper bags break down naturally or can go into kerbside recycling.
• Sturdy and reliable: Modern kraft paper bags handle real retail loads without tearing.
• Brandable: Paper bags are easy to print on and present well in-store.
