When our company was founded, we made a commitment to be more sustainable in our production processes. That meant we needed to have more sustainable solutions in the future.
The first step was that we use a 100% polypropylene outer bag. We did this because not only does polypropylene thread produce a better product when used for sewing FIBCs, but also because this would make our bags more appealing to re-processors.
In the recycling process, though, the polyester threads contaminate the polypropylene that re-processors use. That means that many re-processors won’t take bags made with polyester threads—making the ones crafted from 100% polypropylene more recyclable and sustainable in the long run.
Not only are we all about sustainability but we’ve also done the work to make sure that our production facilities are too.
When we decided to proceed with several sustainability initiatives in 2015, we communicated our goals to our overseas partners. We began implementing and developing new strategies to be more energy conscious, reduce waste, maximize efficiencies, and more.
