Fujian venture installs 200kt bamboo-fibre biodegradable line for courier bags

Fujian Yangzhu New Materials Technology and Fujian Jianda Industrial Investment Group are installing equipment, including 72 production lines, for a jointly funded 200,000 tonne/year bamboo-fibre biodegradable material plant in Jianyang, Nanping, China, with the first grinding and pelletising lines about to start. Yangzhu has agreed cooperation with eight leading courier companies and plans to supply more than 200 million bamboo-based courier bags this year; corrugated boxes with 60-70% bamboo powder content are planned next.

Why this mattersA bamboo-based biodegradable substitute priced below conventional plastic, backed by courier-sector supply deals, could accelerate plastic-to-fibre switching in China's e-commerce packaging.
