Material Options for Bags & Scoops

Selecting the right material for bags involves weighing several factors, such as strength, versatility, and sustainability. The choice among these materials should be driven by product-specific needs, environmental goals, and, in the case of 100% PE, a preference for sustainability and recyclability.
MIxed polymers

Mixed Polymers

Mixed polymers with a metal foil layer excel in barrier properties, providing excellent protection for sensitive products. However, it’s important to note that the inclusion of a metal foil hinders recyclability. Mixed polymers refer to materials that combine different types of polymers in one material and are engineered to offer a combination of properties from the constituent polymers.
PE

Polyethylene (PE)

PE bags are a widely chosen option, prized for their flexibility and affordability, rendering them suitable for an array of purposes. Bags made from 100% PE are among the most sustainable choices, given their recyclability and potential for reuse. PE (Polyethylene) is derived from petroleum-based sources and comes in two main varieties – LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) and HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene).
PP

Polypropylene (PP)

PP bags are durable and chemical-resistant, suitable for products needing added protection. PP (Polypropylene) is derived from petroleum-based sources and is known for its robustness and resistance to heat.
Biodegradable and compostable materials

Biodegradable and compostable materials

Biodegradable plastics and compostable materials are eco-conscious alternatives that break down naturally, reducing landfill waste. Biodegradable material breaks down naturally into harmless substances over time, reducing their impact on landfills and ecosystems. Compostable packaging is specifically designed to be broken down in composting facilities, yielding nutrient-rich compost that can enrich soil.

MATERIAL OPTIONS FOR BAGS

Polypropylene (PP)

PP scoops are a valuable addition to bags for products that require controlled dispensing. PP’s lightweight and durable properties make it a practical choice for scoops, ensuring ease of use and product protection. Overall, PP scoops are a reliable solution for maintaining the integrity of bagged products while promoting user-friendly functionality. PP (Polypropylene) is derived from petroleum-based sources and is known for its robustness and resistance to heat.
