FlexSack believes the recycled-content FIBC, which resulted from an internal sustainability initiative launched last year, is a first in North America.Imported from India, the PCR bags are a drop-in replacement at a cost parity with standard PP bags.
The company’s 2023 introduction of the FlexSack-eco FIBC with 30% PCR brings a sustainable new option to the FIBC market.
“It represents the latest development of woven bags that evolved from a combination polyethylene bag sewn using nylon thread to 100% recyclable polypropylene bags,” explains Patrick Williams, the company’s national sales representative (shown at the event). “The FlexSack-eco bag is 100% recyclable.”
“The eco-bags perform similarly to their 100% virgin PP counterparts,” says Allen Aubin, VP, director of sales & business development.As with other FIBCS, the eco version holds up to 4,000 pounds of dry flowing powder or granular products ranging from plastic pellets and flakes to foods, pigments, pharmaceuticals, aggregates, chemicals, and more.
Numerous bulk bag options are available.“There is no true ‘standard’ size when it comes to FIBCs, as each is dependent on the customer application,” says Aubin. “There are no limitations to style, construction, or other options for the eco-bags.”
