Why More Supermarkets and Department Stores Are Switching to Compostable Bags in Nepal
The global movement towards sustainable living is no longer a trend — it’s a necessity. Across Nepal, a growing number of supermarkets, grocery stores, and department chains are making the switch from traditional plastic to compostable, biodegradable, and eco-friendly bags. And leading that shift is Eco Wrap Nepal, the country’s trusted name in sustainable packaging solutions.
If you’re a retailer still relying on harmful plastic, here’s why it's time to reconsider — and how Eco Wrap Nepal can help.
The Problem with Conventional Plastic Bags
Traditional plastic bags take up to 1,000 years to decompose, often ending up in rivers, landfills, and even our food supply through microplastics. These plastics not only harm the environment but also:
Violate updated government regulations on plastic use
Damage a brand’s image in an eco-conscious market
Increase long-term waste management costs
Why Nepal’s Retailers Are Going Green
1. Government Compliance
Nepal has already banned plastic bags under 40 microns in thickness, and cities like Kathmandu are actively promoting eco-friendly alternatives. Retailers must adapt to avoid fines and remain compliant.
2. Brand Reputation & Consumer Trust
Modern consumers prefer to shop with brands that care. Offering compostable shopping bags shows your customers that you take sustainability seriously.
Many Young Nepali shoppers say they prefer stores that offer eco-friendly packaging (Based Upon our interaction with young people during an exhibition on World Environment Day).
3. Cost-Effective in the Long Run
Though compostable bags may have slightly higher upfront costs, they:
Reduce waste taxes
Attract eco-conscious consumers
Future-proof your business as regulations tighten
