MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025081 A) filed by Chilakapati Anil Kumar, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, on March 3, for 'method for producing structurally reinforced paper-based carry bags using embedded fabric net.'
Inventor(s) include Tadiboina Samantha Kumar; Pidaparthi Lakshmi Prasanna; and Prof. Dr Ramesh Srikonda.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention describes a method for a structurally reinforced paper carry bag designed to improve tensile strength, durability, and reusability by embedding a textile reinforcement mesh within the paper during its formation stage. The reinforcement material, which may include cotton netting, jute, hemp, muslin cloth, or biodegradable synthetic fibers, is integrated into the wet pulp layers before hydrogen bonding is complete, ensuring mechanical entanglement with cellulose fibers. This innovative process results in a composite paper structure with significantly enhanced tear resistance, moisture durability, and load-bearing capacity, addressing the weaknesses of conventional paper bags. The manufacturing process involves depositing fiber slurry onto a moving screen, strategically placing the reinforcement layer between the forming pulp layers, and proceeding with pressing, drying, and finishing operations to create a fully biodegradable and recyclable product. The reinforced paper bags can support loads of up to 8 to 10 kg, withstand multiple reuse cycles, and provide a scalable, commercially viable, and environmentally sustainable alternative to plastic bags. These characteristics make the invention highly suitable for retail, grocery, and commercial packaging applications."
