When Sustainability Meets Uncompromising Strength
Open mouth bags are the silent workhorses of global logistics—carrying 1.2 billion tons of cargo annually while quietly advancing the circular economy. At VidePak, we’ve spent 17 years perfecting these bags to balance 1,500 kg load capacities with 98% recyclability through closed-loop systems. These aren’t generic sacks—they’re sustainability powerhouses engineered for agriculture, construction, and recycling industries. Let’s explore how we blend rigorous quality control with eco-conscious innovation.
Sustainable Sourcing: From Recycled Resins to Regulatory Compliance
1. Material Selection: The 30% PCR Revolution
We source:
- 30% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Resins: Certified by SGS (Report SGS-2024-RECYC-098)
- FDA-Compliant Additives: Safe for food contact per 21 CFR 177.1520
Client ROI:
A European fertilizer company reduced carbon footprint by 22% using our PCR bags.
2. Supplier Audits: The 23-Point Vetting System
Our procurement team verifies:
- ISO 14001 Certification: 100% of our resin suppliers
- Traceability: Lot codes trackable to individual reactors
Engineer’s Insight:
“We reject 12% of incoming materials for failing our 0.03% heavy metal threshold,” says QC Manager Li Wei.
Production Excellence: Four Layers of Quality Defense
1. Extrusion: The 0.05mm Layer Precision
Our 16 Starlinger extruders achieve:
- Layer Uniformity: ±0.05mm deviation across 2.4m widths
- Burst Strength: 98% correlation to extrusion consistency (ISO 2758)
VidePak Innovation:
- AutoGauge™ System: Real-time thickness adjustments every 2cm
2. Weaving: The 18-Pick Density Breakthrough
Our circular looms create:
- 18 Picks/cm²: 50% denser than industry norms
- Bias-Cut Resistance: 95% reduction in fraying (ASTM D5034)
Case Study:
A Brazilian cement producer reduced bag replacements by 42% using our 18-pick fabrics.
3. Printing: The 1,600 DPI Durability
Our flexo presses apply:
- UV Inks: Survive 1,800 UV hours (ASTM G154)
- Abrasion Resistance: 500 rubs with 0% fade (Taber CS-10)
VidePak Edge:
Ceramic anilox rollers deliver 1,600 DPI resolution that outlasts forklift abuse.
4. Recycling: The 98% Closed-Loop System
Our facilities feature:
- On-Site Grinders: Reprocess 98% of production waste
- Pelletizers: Convert scrap into 30% PCR feedstock
Field Test:
A US recycling plant achieved zero landfill waste using our closed-loop system.
