FIBC | BULK BAG RECYCLING

Our Sustainability Initiative

Global-Pak works to make environmentally friendly decisions and provide sustainable solutions for our customers, so we can make this planet a better, cleaner place. We are always looking for ways to innovate and improve how our company and products impact the environment. Within our company, we have recycling programs in place for our offices and bulk products in our warehouse. We recycle any discarded or damaged packaging, or reuse items whenever possible to help eliminate waste in landfills.

Bioremediation Bags with Worry Free Plastics

The latest environmentally friendly innovation within the packaging industry is bioremediation products. Global-Pak is proud to present our product line Bioremediation Bags with Worry Free Plastics! This eco-friendly line was developed out of an exclusive partnership with Worry Free Plastics, and by utilizing their bio accelerator agent in the manufacturing process, we are able to offer bulk bags and roll-off liners that leave no microplastics behind when disposed of in landfills. This agent allows for a green alternative to recycling, and when the bag or liner is placed in the landfill dirt, the plastics are consumed in their entirety within five years - leaving behind nutrient-rich soil, not microplastics.

Using the Worry Free agent in your products adds minimal cost compared to other sustainable solutions currently on the market, and requires no changes to your existing specifications. There is no negative impact to strength, performance, functionality, shelf life, or UV protection whatsoever. This means you are getting the same quality product while also achieving sustainability goals at a cost that’s accessible to the average buyer. It’s a win for you and the environment!

Bioremediation Bags with Worry Free Plastics meets the UN Guidelines for waste management and The Ellen MacArthur Foundation Principles of a Circular Economy and can help Global-Pak's customers meet their company's sustainability goals.
