Single Material Pack Pouch

EPR Compliant Mono Material Bag for North American Brands

North American brands face growing regulatory pressure. EPR laws for packaging have been passed in seven US states, with non-compliant packaging facing potential bans by 2032 in some states. Traditional multi-layer laminates are not widely recycled. The Mono Material Bag offers a compliant solution. This bag is made entirely from a single polymer type, typically polyethylene, for all layers. The mono-material structure enables efficient sorting and processing in standard recycling streams. This bag belongs to the Eco Friendly Material Packaging Bags category, alongside the Recyclable Material Bag and the Specialty Eco Bag. Polyethylene is the most widely used substrate in North American flexible packaging, benefiting from the drive toward mono-material solutions. This bag is widely used across grocery stores, supermarkets, and e-commerce channels in the United States and Canada for snacks, coffee, pet food, and personal care products.

The Mono Material Bag delivers both compliance and performance. The single polymer structure allows the bag to be sorted and recycled through existing PE recycling streams. High-barrier coatings enable moisture and oxygen protection while maintaining recyclability. The bag can be made with a resealable zipper for repeated use. Printing is available with custom brand designs. The bag is compatible with standard filling and heat seal equipment. With EPR regulations gaining momentum across North America, the Mono Material Bag helps brands meet sustainability goals and retailer sustainability scorecard requirements.

How It Works

The Mono Material Bag is produced using a single polymer type for all layers. The structure is designed for compatibility with existing recycling streams.
