One of the primary issues is the sheer volume of plastic waste generated by these bags. According to estimates, millions of tons of plastic are produced each year for agricultural purposes, with a substantial portion made up of pesticide bags. When these bags are improperly disposed of, they contribute to the growing global plastic pollution crisis. Plastic bags often end up in landfills, where they can take hundreds of years to decompose. In aquatic environments, they pose a threat to marine life, causing entanglement, ingestion, and habitat disruption.

Laminated stand-up pouches are multi-layered bags made from various materials, typically combining plastic films like polyethylene, polyester, and aluminum foil. This layering process enhances the barrier properties of the pouch, ensuring that the contents are well-protected from moisture, oxygen, and light. The “stand-up” feature is achieved through a gusseted base, allowing the pouch to maintain its shape when filled, providing an attractive display option for retail.
