When procurement managers ask: are woven polypropylene bags recyclable? The direct technical answer for PP woven sacks (5kg to 50kg capacity) is yes, 100% recyclable. Made from polypropylene resin under Resin Identification Code #5 (RIC #5), these bags are thermoplastic polymers that can be shredded, melted, and extruded into secondary plastic products without complete molecular breakdown. However, while PP bags are inherently recyclable, post-consumer collection rates remain under 1% worldwide. For agricultural, animal feed, and chemical sacks, multi-layer laminations, internal […]

The accelerating deployment of plastic in global agriculture—from expansive multi-season greenhouses to specialized mulch applications—has created a crucial environmental and logistical imperative. While plastic is indispensable for modern yield optimization, the volume of agricultural plastic waste and agricultural film waste generated globally demands a structured, closed-loop solution. Understanding agricultural film recycling is no longer just an ecological necessity; it is a critical requirement for regulatory compliance and economic optimization within a true circular economy. This comprehensive guide details why this […]

If you are asking how much soil in a bulk bag, the most accurate answer is: there is no universal quantity. A bulk bag is a packaging format, not a fixed measurement. The actual amount of soil depends on the bag’s stated volume or net weight, the soil’s bulk density, moisture content and filling condition. As a leasing jumbo bag supplier from Vietnam, EPP Vietnam has spent over two decades connecting agricultural distributors, and civil contractors with heavy-duty, certified FIBC […]

Accurately calculating bulk bag coverage and weight is an essential operational requirement for civil engineering contractors, commercial landscapers, and building material distributors. Determining the precise balance between material volume, density, and physical footprint prevents job site delays, eliminates costly material overruns, and optimizes shipping logistics. Beyond site calculations, understanding how heavy aggregates interact with flexible packaging is critical for logistics safety. Selecting an improperly rated container for dense materials like moist sand or crushed granite risks structural failure during transport […]

Food grade plastic refers to polymers specifically engineered and certified to safely contact edible products without leaching harmful chemicals, toxins, or heavy metals. According to global regulatory frameworks, a plastic is classified as “food grade” when it is synthesized under controlled purity conditions—typically utilizing 100% virgin polymer resin without unregulated recycled contaminants. This technical article provides an in-depth look at evaluating food-contact plastics, outlining their structural characteristics, regulatory standards, and stringent safety parameters necessary to maintain food safety throughout the […]

Oil prices have sent a seismic shock through the global commodities market on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, crashing through the psychological $100-per-barrel floor in a matter of minutes. The catalyst for this historic liquidation was the sudden announcement of a two-week ceasefire brokered by the Trump administration, effectively sucking the geopolitical risk premium out of the energy sector. For months, traders had baked in a “war premium” that kept crude trading at elevated levels, but as the news of a […]

In the competitive world of industrial packaging, the physical weight of an empty bulk bag—commonly referred to as its “tare weight”—is the most reliable metric for auditing supplier quality, ensuring structural safety, and controlling logistics costs. While procurement managers often focus primarily on the Safe Working Load (SWL), understanding the exact physical weight of FIBC bag construction allows you to verify that the super sacks you receive strictly match the technical GSM specifications on your contract. As a leading bulk […]

The Strait of Hormuz is currently the single most dangerous 21-mile stretch of water on the planet. As of March 19, 2026, the world is holding its breath as global energy supplies are being throttled in a high-stakes game of chicken. If you’ve noticed your fuel prices or shipping costs jumping this week, this narrow chokepoint is the primary driver. At EPP Vietnam, we aren’t just observers; we’re deeply embedded in global industrial logistics. When the Strait narrows, the ripple […]

In the global transport of dry bulk materials, controlling static electricity is a critical safety priority. High-speed filling and discharging of fine powders, chemical granules, and combustible food ingredients create friction that generates high electrostatic charges. In flammable or explosive dust atmospheres, an ungrounded static spark can trigger catastrophic industrial explosions. The IEC 61340-4-4 standard serves as the global safety benchmark governing Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) engineered for hazardous environments. As a leading FIBC supplier in Vietnam, EPP Vietnam […]

The PP price has taken the global manufacturing sector by storm in early 2026, leaving procurement teams scrambling to adjust their budgets. If you are a regular buyer of bulk packaging, you have likely noticed that the quotes for your super sacks are changing almost weekly. As a leading supplier of FIBC bags from Vietnam—EPP Vietnam—we have been on the front lines of this market shift. We see the numbers every day, and more importantly, we see how they affect […]
