Stora Enso introduces renewable high-strength bags

To support the shift to renewable and recyclable materials in shopping and takeaway bags, Stora Enso launches CarrEco Brown™. Made from 100% fresh fibers, the material has high strength and tear resistance properties and is also safe for direct food contact.

By offering renewable, fiber-based materials suited for paper bags, Stora Enso accelerates the shift away from plastic. Stora Enso now expands its paper bag materials portfolio with CarrEco Brown, a new unbleached and uncoated board that is fully recyclable. Through its unique three-layer structure, it offers exceptional strength properties suitable for strong shopping bags. The material is also safe for direct food contact and contains only FDA-compliant chemicals which makes it ideal for takeaway food and groceries.

CarrEco Brown is made 100% from renewable fresh fibers from sustainably managed forests and it has a three-layer structure made with patent-pending Tri-Ply™ technology by Stora Enso. Its high tensile and tear strength properties make it suitable for strong shopping bags, and is also safe for direct food contact and contains only FDA-compliant chemicals which makes it ideal for takeaway and grocery bags.

In addition to strength and purity, it has a natural look and feel and does not contain any optical bleaching agents. The material’s smoothness and formation qualities enable great printability possibilities for brand owners. Available in grammages starting from 85 gsm.
