Study Quantifies Carbon Footprint of Paper Carrier Bags in Europe
What happened
RISE Research Institutes of Sweden released findings from a study commissioned by The Paper Bag platform regarding paper carrier bags in Europe. The research quantified the cradle-to-gate fossil carbon footprint of machine-glazed and machine-finished kraft paper used in manufacturing. The study found the footprint ranged from 16.6 to 82.9 g CO₂e per bag, based on three typical types: a small takeaway bag (20 g), a medium shopping bag (55 g), and a large shopping bag (100 g).
