The recyclability of Big Bags
Big Bags are bulk packaging which protect (dry) bulk products during transport and temporary storage.
Big Bags are large woven bags with a certain dimensional stability.
They are often equipped with straps to make them easy to handle. They are usually made of PP or PET.
Make sure you use Big Bags made entirely of the same material.
