In today's pursuit of environmental protection, choosing a cosmetic bag is not only about design and practicality, but also a manifestation of responsibility. According to PwC's 2024 “Voice of the Consumer” survey, 85% of consumers around the world said they have personally felt the impact of climate change and are willing to pay an average of 9.7% more for sustainable products. Sustainable accessories, such as eco-friendly handbags and makeup bags, are becoming the new favorite in the fashion field.
As an eco-friendly makeup bag manufacturer, Topfeel has always been committed to integrating environmentally friendly materials with aesthetic design to launch custom makeup bag products that are more in line with environmental trends. This article will take you to a comprehensive understanding of the four major categories of environmentally friendly materials: natural materials, renewable materials, degradable materials and recyclable materials, and introduce our selected representative products to help you choose an ideal cosmetic bag that truly meets the concept of environmental protection.
Natural materials are directly taken from plants, such as cotton, linen, jute, plant fibers, etc., without complex chemical processing, naturally degradable, and the most authentic environmentally friendly choice.
Common types:
Plant woven fibers
Cotton and linen
Jute

This jute and canvas blended tote bag is durable and beautiful, suitable for the daily use needs of modern environmentalists. With large capacity and reasonable structure, it is a good choice whether for shopping, traveling or as an extension of the brand's product line.
Renewable materials usually come from the reuse of old materials or industrial waste, which can not only reduce dependence on original resources, but also retain good performance and beauty, helping brands to practice the concept of circular economy.
Common types:
RPET
Recycled cotton
Recycled nylon
Recycled nylon is favored by brands such as Prada and MINISO for its lightness, wear resistance, high strength and good environmental protection, and has become a popular material for sustainable fashion in recent years.
Although Topfeel has not yet mass-produced recycled nylon cosmetic bags, it can customize such products according to customer needs. Due to the scarcity of materials and process requirements, the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for customized orders is 5,000 pieces. Brands are welcome to discuss exclusive customization plans.
Degradable materials can be decomposed into water, carbon dioxide and biomass under appropriate conditions (humidity, temperature, microbial action), and will not cause long-term pollution. They are ideal for environmentally friendly short-term packaging.
Common types:
PLA (polylactic acid) – extracted from renewable resources such as corn starch
PBS (succinic acid copolymer) – stable performance, suitable for medium and high intensity use
TPS (thermoplastic starch)
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane, degradable version)
Advantages:
Naturally degradable, no toxic residue
Especially suitable for disposable or short-term use packaging

Topfeel pays attention to the new trend of degradable materials and continues to develop new green materials that can be widely used in cosmetic bag design, providing brands with the possibility to customize products that are truly environmentally friendly from “source to destination”.
Although recyclable materials do not have the ability to degrade naturally, they can be recycled and reprocessed into new products to avoid waste entering landfills, which is a key path to achieve closed-loop manufacturing.
Common types:
RPET: also one of the renewable materials
Tyvek® (DuPont paper): non-woven structure, light, waterproof, tear-resistant, 100% recyclable
Recommended products:
