I think carry out bags are quite niche, and they would absolutely have to be 100% leak proof. The majority of camping is done on sites with facilities so any such product would be for the eco minded wild camper who doesn't like digging holes.

Given McDonalds can't make a paper straw that lasts more than 10 minutes in a fizzy drink, the chances of me trusting a pure paper / natural material solution would be near zero without substantial evidence of durability. Fruit juice cartons for example have foil and plastic laminate layers so can't be recycled.

From a financial perspective, decent straws made from natural and recyclable (or a least compostable) materials free from plastic would be a significantly more profitable business.

Never tried it, but I wonder if it would help if you put some sawdust in the bag before use? As for how to remove it from site, perhaps you could find a nappy/changing bag or similar to keep things safely contained.

I had a kamp khazi. Lined with biodegradable liners that I bought off eBay. A few inches of wood based cat litter in the bottom. Just tie up the bag and throw in the rubbish bin when done
