The carrier bags are converted for a state-owned company that primarily sells beverages. And the paper used for these carrier bags has a low climate impact. Partly because the production process is more than 98% based on renewable bioenergy, and partly because the local cooperation between Nordic Paper and Norbag minimizes transports. 

The demand for paper bags, as an alternative to plastic-based bags, is increasing. Norbag, which was founded in 2004, currently has twelve machines in their production line of carrier bags and about 96 employees. They are one of Nordic Paper's largest customers in the sack and MF paper segment and have been for many years.

The state-owned company aims to reduce the number of plastic bags sold and has therefor chosen a paper bag of kraft paper. The paper used is an unbleached kraft paper made of virgin fibre from PEFC certified Swedish wood, produced with the greatest environmental consideration. The carrier bag can be reused as well as recycled.
