The UK retail sector deserves a better answer than "biodegradable" plastics and conventional paper bags.
Order Samples Today!For years, supermarkets and retailers have searched for ways to reduce single-use plastics.
Most "biodegradable" plastics only break down under industrial composting conditions — not in the home bin or natural environment.
Conventional paper bags rely on deforestation, using wood that takes decades to regrow.
Both options often result in weaker, less reliable bags that frustrate customers.
The UK retail sector deserves a better answer.
Hemp isn't new — it's been used for paper, textiles, and ropes for centuries. What's new is the ability to produce machine-made hemp paper at scale, designed for modern retail needs.
vs 20–80 years for trees
One acre of hemp = 4–10 acres of trees
Grown without pesticides or herbicides
Hemp contains up to 85% cellulose
Hemp paper isn't just sustainable — it's better for retail
Bags that resist tearing and splitting, even with heavy groceries. Hemp fibers are among the strongest natural fibers available.
Flexible fibers allow folding without cracking, and paper that doesn't yellow or weaken over time.
Hemp paper can be recycled up to 8 times, compared to just 3 for conventional paper.
Major UK supermarkets — Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons — are under pressure to go beyond "good enough" sustainability. Hemp paper bags give retailers the chance to:
Replace outdated biodegradable plastic with a truly compostable solution
Reduce carbon footprint and support deforestation-free supply chains
Lead by example in the race for sustainable retail
This isn't just a bag — it's a statement of values.
