Why Does the Recycling Industry Prefer UV-Resistant Circular Bulk Bags?
August 28, 2022
In the recycling industry—handling materials such as reprocessed plastic, rubber granules, and shredded metal—packaging bags are often stored outdoors and subjected to frequent reuse. Traditional woven bags degrade quickly under sunlight, leading to tears, spillage, and safety hazards. UV-resistant circular bulk bags have thus become the preferred choice for flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) in this sector.
These bulk bags are made from UV-stabilized virgin polypropylene fabric, with 1%–3% UV additives, allowing them to maintain structural integrity even under prolonged sun exposure. This reduces the need for frequent replacement and lowers packaging costs for recyclers.
The circular design, free of side seams, offers superior strength and reusability. The cross-corner lifting loops and fully belted structure ensure safe and stable handling, even under repeated stacking or heavy loads. Open tops or skirt tops facilitate fast loading, while discharge spouts provide efficient unloading—ideal for use in recycling centers, plastic reprocessing plants, and municipal waste facilities.
For clients focused on environmental responsibility, operational safety, and material turnover efficiency, UV-resistant circular FIBC bags offer a cost-effective, durable, and sustainable packaging solution.
