Can PP Nonwoven Be Used for Eco-Friendly Shopping Bags?

Jul 22, 2025 | News

PP non woven fabrics (polypropylene non-woven fabrics) are non-woven materials made by physical processes such as hot rolling and spunbonding. They are lightweight, durable, and recyclable. In recent years, with the development of global environmental protection trends, PP non-woven fabrics have become one of the preferred materials to replace disposable plastic bags, especially in the production of environmentally friendly shopping bags.

Environmental advantages of PP non-woven fabrics

Reusable and reduce pollution

PP non-woven environmentally friendly shopping bags are stronger and have a longer service life than traditional plastic bags. They can usually be reused dozens or even hundreds of times, reducing the consumption of disposable plastics, thereby effectively reducing “white pollution”.

Recyclable

Polypropylene materials are thermoplastics, and non-woven fabrics can be recycled and reused after use, which is in line with the concept of the circular economy. According to data from the China Plastics Processing Industry Association, each use of a PP non-woven bag can reduce plastic waste by more than 60%.

Environmentally friendly production process

PP non-woven fabrics are mainly produced using spunbond technology, without the need for additional chemical adhesives, with simple processes, low energy consumption, and relatively small negative impact on the environment.

Application in shopping bags

PP non-woven fabrics are widely used in supermarket handbags, gift bags, vest bags, drawstring bags, etc. Through lamination, color printing, hot pressing and other processes, non-woven shopping bags are not only practical, but also have high publicity value. Different weights (such as 60-120g) can meet the needs of daily shopping and high-intensity use.
