World Paper Bag Day

World Paper Bag Day (also known as Paper Bag Day or International Paper Bag Day) is observed annually on 12 July.

It promotes paper bags as an eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic bags.

In 1852, American inventor Francis Wolle patented the first paper bag-making machine.

The date marks the 12 July 1859 patent granted to American inventor William Goodale for an improved paper bag-making machine.

The day raises awareness about reducing plastic pollution and adopting sustainable packaging.
