With the Indian government strictly enforcing the ban on single-use plastics, businesses across the country are facing a critical challenge: how to package and hand over goods to customers without breaking the law or harming the planet.
The solution lies in adopting the best compostable carry bags in India. But with so much greenwashing in the market, how do you choose genuine, eco-friendly alternatives?
At SAKRT, we manufacture 100% plant-based, CPCB-certified compostable packaging. Here is everything retailers, supermarkets, and local businesses need to know about making the switch.
The Urgent Need for Eco-Friendly Carry Bags
India generates roughly 3.5 million tonnes of plastic waste annually. Traditional polythene carry bags take hundreds of years to decompose, clogging our drainage systems, polluting oceans, and breaking down into toxic microplastics.
In response, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has mandated a shift away from single-use plastics. For businesses, continuing to use traditional plastic carry bags means risking heavy fines, store closures, and alienating environmentally conscious consumers.
Transitioning to compostable carry bags is no longer just an eco-friendly PR move, it is a legal and operational necessity.
Biodegradable vs. Compostable: What Retailers Must Know
Many business owners get confused between “biodegradable” and “compostable” bags. They are not the same, and choosing the wrong one can still result in legal penalties.
Biodegradable Bags (Often Misleading)
- Many so-called “biodegradable” bags are just traditional plastics mixed with chemical additives (oxo-degradable plastics). They break down into invisible, highly toxic microplastics that enter the food chain. These are banned under current Indian regulations.
Compostable Bags (The Legal & Safe Choice)
Genuine compostable bags, like those manufactured by SAKRT, are made from natural plant starches (like corn or cassava). When placed in a composting environment, they break down into nutrient-rich biomass, water, and carbon dioxide within 180 days. They leave zero microplastics behind and are 100% compliant with CPCB guidelines.

Our carry bags are strictly tested and approved by the CPCB. Each bag comes printed with the mandatory CPCB certification details and QR code, ensuring your business is safe from plastic ban fines and regulatory harassment.

3. Boosts Your Brand Image
Modern Indian consumers prefer to shop with brands that share their values. Handing over your products in a premium, clearly labeled compostable bag shows your customers that you care about their health and the environment.
