Eco Friendly

Companies today are focused on creating products that are sustainable, meaning they are made with materials that minimize the impact on our environment. You may have some familiarity with biodegradable products, which are one solution to companies’ need to create environmentally-conscious products. Let’s clear things up a bit by first explaining what it means for materials to be biodegradable.

Biodegradable means that something will be consumed completely with the assistance of microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi.

When a biodegradable plastic (bioplastics) is disposed of, it will be broken down into biomass, carbon dioxide, and water, if in an oxygen-rich environment, or methane, if in an oxygen-poor environment.

There are different methods to make biodegrade materials, such as Marine degradation (degrades in the ocean), Soil degradation (degrades in the soil), or Home/industrial composting. Like all plastics, bioplastics need to be properly disposed of when they’ve reached the end of their usefulness, in a way that maximizes their value, whether that’s through recycling, home composting, or industrial composting.

Bioplastics share many of the valuable functional characteristics of conventional plastics such as processability, durability, and recycling. Compostability, however, is a functional characteristic that is unique to some types of bioplastics. Composting, like recycling, is an attractive means of avoiding landfill disposal, and there has been an increased consumer demand for biodegradable/compostable plastics. Industrial composting differs from home composting in that the process is much more closely managed and monitored to ensure high-temperature conditions.

FIBC jumbo bags are made up of woven polypropylene fabric, a sustainable alternative to single-use plastics. Polypropylene is a synthetic fabric that is highly durable and long-lasting, reducing industrial packaging waste to a great extent. Lesser wastage results in lesser non-biodegradable plastic accumulation, ultimately benefitting the environment. Studies show polypropylene bulk bags are highly sustainable. Moreover, the FIBC bags can be used commercially as well as domestic usage, which can help eliminate the use of single-use plastics.

In the world we live today, the demands of how we conduct business are changing. In the light of climate change and global warming, there is an increasing need for organizations to become environmentally conscious and take steps to ensure that they’re contributing to eliminating the threats we face today. Hence, for businesses involved in large-scale packaging, storing, and transporting,

Here’s what makes FIBC bags a suitable eco-friendly option for bulk packaging needs:

1. FIBC bags are made of woven polypropylene which is a recyclable material, hence, can be reused. However, ensure that bags are recycled following the due process of extensive cleaning. 
2. FIBC bags are sturdy, hence, they have a long life and can be used for years. This reduces waste and contributes to the well-being of the environment. 
3. Allowing for varied use such as storage of food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and other solid material, FIBCs are a one-stop shop for all packaging needs, hence, reducing the need to use any other non-eco-friendly material completely. 
4. These bags can be stored by simply flattening and folding, they don’t need to be wrapped in plastic or any other material. This further reduces waste and the use of material that is harmful to the environment.
