This year, the campaign is built around a slogan that perfectly captures the times we live in: <strong>CARRY THE CHANGE!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Spain, at <strong>La Bolsa de Papel<\/strong>, we have chosen to interpret this message in our own way, with an expression that reflects its meaning: <strong>CARRY THE CHANGE!<\/strong> A simple, direct and meaningful idea. Because a paper bag does more than carry purchases. It also represents a way forward: towards a more circular economy, more sustainable retail and solutions that are increasingly aligned with what consumers value.<\/p>\n<p>Paper bags are part of everyday life for thousands of retailers and millions of people. They are present in simple yet meaningful moments: shopping locally, giving a gift, buying food, visiting a neighbourhood shop or a specialist retailer. In all these situations, paper bags serve a practical purpose, but they also convey something more: a particular way of understanding consumption and our relationship with the environment.<\/p>\n<p>When we talk about <strong>\u201ccarrying the change\u201d<\/strong>, we mean real change. We are talking about the growth of the <strong>circular bioeconomy<\/strong>, based on renewable raw materials, the efficient use of resources and the ability to recycle and reuse paper fibres within a well-established system. We are also talking about a retail sector that needs useful, reliable solutions that respond to growing consumer awareness of materials, their origins and what happens to them at the end of their life cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Paper bags also meet one of the most fundamental requirements of everyday retail: <strong>being practical<\/strong>. They are designed to carry products, withstand everyday use and accompany different shopping occasions. Their design, materials and manufacturing processes make them a functional solution for a wide range of sectors. And their usefulness continues when they are reused for other purposes before entering the recycling process.<\/p>\n<p>But this campaign aims to convey something more. It reminds us that change is not driven by a single group. It is carried forward by manufacturers, retailers and citizens alike. That is why our bags display a message in the first person: <strong>I CARRY THE CHANGE<\/strong>. Because every time someone chooses, provides or uses a paper bag, they are taking part in a transformation that brings together functionality, sustainability and commitment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>European Paper Bag Day<\/strong> is a great opportunity to highlight all these qualities. To remind everyone that paper bags continue to evolve. To recognise their contribution to retail. And to express, in a positive and collective way, that some changes are not just talked about: <strong>they are carried forward<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This 18 October, we celebrate European Paper Bag Day.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>We celebrate the change we carry.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7828,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Carry the change - La bolsa de papel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The PPWR applies from 12 August 2026.
