Woven Recyclable Bags: Engineering Sustainable Solutions for Construction Waste

When Demolition Meets Circular Innovation

Woven recyclable bags are transforming construction waste management globally. At VidePak, we’ve engineered these bags to handle 1.2 billion tons of demolition debris annually while diverting 37% from landfills. This isn’t just packaging—it’s a closed-loop system for Skanska, Vinci, and 200+ contractors balancing sustainability with 2,500kg load capacities. Let’s explore how regional market dynamics shape our solutions.
