30% Recycled Bulk Packaging for your FIBC's
We’re committed to supplying generic builders’ bulk bags that perform reliably on site while supporting the construction industry’s sustainability goals. Although builders’ bags often have a short working life and are sometimes viewed as disposable or unnecessary packaging, every one of our standard bulk bags is manufactured using a minimum of 30% recycled content, helping reduce reliance on virgin plastics across UK building and landscaping sectors.
By choosing bulk bags made with recycled materials, you help cut plastic waste, lower carbon impact and support a more circular approach to construction packaging, all without compromising strength, durability or load-handling performance. Whether you’re moving aggregates, sand, gravel, soil, rubble or general builders’ waste, our bags are designed to withstand tough conditions and remain fully recyclable at the end of their use.
- Key benefits of our 30% recycled builders’ bulk bags:
- Made with at least 30% recycled polypropylene, supporting UK sustainability and plastic-reduction commitments.
- Strong, UV-stabilised and engineered for demanding site work, maintaining reliability despite reduced virgin material.
- Suitable for aggregates, topsoil, hardcore, stone, DIY materials and general construction waste handling.
- Fully recyclable after use, helping builders and merchants demonstrate responsible waste management on every project.
A practical, greener choice for modern building sites and merchants seeking sustainable, cost-effective bulk packaging.
