A detailed guide on recycling PP-Woven Bags

Did you know recycling one ton of plastics results in savings of:

>5,774 kilowatt-hours of energy?*?

>16.3 barrels (685 gallons) of oil?

>30 cubic yards of landfill space??

This means that recycling PP-woven bags is also an easy and effective way to contribute to environmental sustainability.

Agriculture, food packaging, and construction are just a few of the many fields where PP-woven bags are utilised. PP Woven bags are widely used due to their adaptability, sturdiness, and ability to be reused, making them an excellent choice for packaging and transporting goods. However, just like any other product, these bags will eventually be thrown away.

At New Fabrics Packaging Pvt Ltd, we believe that it is our duty as responsible citizens of India to consider how our actions will affect the environment globally. Recycling PP-Woven bags is one way to lessen their impact on the environment. Not only does recycling these bags aid in reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, but it also helps conserve resources and reduces emissions of greenhouse gases.

First, let’s answer the question: Are PP-Woven Bags recyclable?

Polypropylene bags are made almost entirely of plastic because they are woven with fabric fibres. This makes them completely recyclable and reusable. However, recycling Polypropylene bags takes time. To effectively process PP-woven bags, they must be collected, sorted, shredded, colour-coded and compounded. Polypropylene bag recycling - as well as PP recycling as a whole-is crucial to environmental protection. About 1% of PP is recycled. The remaining waste ends up in landfills, where it slowly decomposes and may release toxic fumes.

Now that we know that PP-Woven Bags are recyclable, how do we recycle them??

Here is a step-by-step process for recycling PP-woven bags:?

1. Collection - In the first stage, PP? is collected from the polypropylene collection and transported to the recycling area.
2. Sorting and cleaning - Now, the polypropylene process is continued by separating PP from the mixtures with other plastics. In this process, density is taken into consideration as well as what the original configuration of the polymer was meant for. The chemical recycling process of polypropylene removes contaminants during this part of the process.
3. Shredding - Once these plastics have been cleaned, some are sent to the shredder.
4. Separation - Now some plastics will be sorted based on their colour, size, shape, melting point or light absorption. After that, the machines sort the plastic into different areas depending on certain properties.
5. Compounding - The final phase is called compounding. This is the mechanical process of recycling polypropylene. In this, the plastics are recombined using a machine called an extruder, which melts down particles at a high temperature

**It is important to note that the recycling process can vary depending on the facility and the specific type of PP woven bag being recycled. Some facilities may use additional steps, such as separating the woven material from any non-PP components, while others may have different methods of cleaning or shredding the bags.

And what are the environmental benefits of recycling PP-woven bags??

Recycling PP-woven bags not only reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills but also reduces the amount of plastic that is made from scratch. This reduces the impact on the environment of ground pollution, greenhouse gases, and gases from landfills. Additionally, recycling PP-woven bags helps conserve energy and natural resources like water and minerals. Around 400 million tons or 8% of all oil used worldwide, are thought to be used in the production of plastic.

In addition to reducing waste, recycling PP-woven bags has several advantages. It preserves resources, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and helps protect the environment. We can contribute to a world that is more sustainable by recycling these bags. To preserve the environment, it is absolutely necessary for everyone to collaborate. We believe that by educating our customers on how to recycle the bags and encouraging them to do so, we can create a circular economy where waste is decreased and assets are saved.

Recycling PP-woven bags is an easy way to contribute to environmental sustainability. By following the steps outlined above, you can help reduce waste, conserve resources, and protect the environment. Let us all join hands and make a difference by recycling PP-woven bags to preserve our planet for future generations.
