Our Philosophy

At ADL Paperbags, sustainability isn’t just a label—it’s the foundation of everything we do. We envision packaging that doesn’t cost the earth, one where every bag supports your brand and safeguards our future. We’re committed to fairness in every layer, from raw material sourcing right up to the moment your paper bags get into your hands.

Why It Matters

Plastic pollution is one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. Bags are used briefly, but their impact lasts centuries. By choosing kraft paper, companies can cut down on non-biodegradable waste, support recycling systems, and offer customers packaging that matches their values.

How We Are Green at ADL

  • Our inks are water-based and low-odor, making them food-safe wherever required.

  • We use virgin and recycled kraft paper that is 100% recyclable.

  • Production practices are optimized: we minimize machine idling, reduce wastage, and recycle off-cuts.

  • Energy efficiency is a priority: lighting, machinery, and workflow are configured to reduce consumption.

Environmental Impact Stats

PLASTIC BAGS REPLACED

If 10,000 brands switch to kraft packaging, an estimated 50 million+ plastic bags could be replaced every year.

BIODEGRADATION PERIOD

  • Kraft paper: Decomposes naturally within months to a few years
  • Plastic: Can take over 100 years to break down

RECYCLABILITY RATE

Kraft paper packaging is 70–90% recyclable, depending on local collection systems and recycling infrastructure.
