Posted by: Carolin on 8/20/02 Title: Recycling Bulk Container Bags

Postnum: 90 EntryID:608

I work in a manufacturing facility in Chilliwack BC (1-1/2 hours east of Vancouver).We currently have a large supply of bulk container bags that we would like to find a recycler for.

Approximately 200 bags approx.6'tall x 3-1/2'wide 100% polypropolene. Safe working load:1200kgs. They have a PP05 recycling logo on the label.

Approximately 140 bags 35x35x42L. Safe working load: 1000kg. Plastic fibre of unknown type.

Any ideas or leads would be greatly appreciated.

The Thompson Recycling Centre in Thompson Manitoba uses large polypropylene bags for collecting and storing recyclables collected from surrounding communities. They may be interested in these bags. A new General Manager is just starting today, however, so I don't know if they will be able to move very quickly. Their phone # is 204-677-7991.

If they are 'clean' (Ie: No residues, oils, chemicals, dusts, etc) we may accept them, but they would have to be shipped to Winnipeg at your cost.

Can anyone recommend a FIBC cleaning station? I would like to wash and bale about 120 - 150 bags per day. What happens to the spen / recycled bags if they dont go to land fill? Make straw bale twine?

We are looking for 1-ton or slightly larger poly bags. The bags should be bottom-unloading style, so they can be reused. They also must allow water to pass out of the bag. Do you have anything like this?

We are looking for a solution to our bulk bags to try and be environmentally friendly...our company sells products in 2000lbs bulk bags - UV treated woven polypropylene, bottom opening. We have only just started to use these and some of our customers are asking if they can recycle them somewhere. Our company is based in Abbotsford BC; our customers are located throughout southern BC. The bags are lined with plastic sheets (to keep the product as dry as possible and tied off at the top - however i imagine they could be used again?)
