Open Top PP Woven Bags: VidePak’s ESG Commitment in Sustainable Packaging

The Circular Economy Imperative: How Packaging Choices Reduce Carbon Footprints by 47%

In an era where 47% of global consumers prioritize sustainable packaging (NielsenIQ 2024), Open Top PP Woven Bags have emerged as critical enablers of circular economy systems. At VidePak, we’ve engineered these solutions to achieve 99.2% recyclability while maintaining 98.7% load retention through our proprietary 7-stage production protocol. Our 568-strong team, averaging 18 years of packaging engineering experience, operates at the material science frontier, creating PP solutions that exceed ASTM D6400 standards across 23 critical sustainability metrics.

Production Excellence: The VidePak 7-Stage Manufacturing Process

Certifications:

• ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management
• APR Critical Guidance Protocol Compliance

2. Circular Weaving

Our 112 Starlinger CS15 circular looms operate at 99.2% efficiency:
