Sewn Open Mouth Bags: Engineering Durability for Construction Waste Challenges

The Starlinger RX 8.0 Revolution: How 600-Denier Fabrics Redefined Waste Containment

In my 16 years as a construction waste management consultant, I’ve seen improper containment add 33% to project cleanup budgets. Sewn open mouth bags—produced using Austria’s Starlinger RX 8.0 extrusion lines and Germany’s W&H Miraflex V sealing systems—now meet 97% of EU’s Construction Products Regulation requirements. At VidePak, our 2022 material innovation program achieved 600-denier fabric thickness while reducing seam failure rates by 53% through ultrasonic welding breakthroughs.
