What are jumbo bags?

Jumbo bags—also known as FIBC bags (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers), bulk bags, or super sacks—are widely used for transporting dry and flowable materials such as food products, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and construction aggregates.

Made from woven polypropylene (PP) fabric, these bags are durable, cost-effective, and resistant to harsh weather conditions. They are hygienic, reusable multiple times, and available in various types (Type A, B, C, D) for different load capacities and safety requirements.

Why do you need to shred jumbo bags?

When jumbo bags reach end-of-life and can no longer be safely reused, FIBC bag recycling is the optimal solution. Woven PP fabric retains its structural integrity through multiple processing cycles, making it highly recyclable.

The standard jumbo bag recycling process includes:

1.Collection & Sorting — Separate by material type and contamination level

2.Washing — Remove dirt, chemicals, and residues

3.Shredding — Reduce bags to manageable pieces using a jumbo bag shredder

4.Granulating — Further size reduction to uniform PP flakes (8–20mm)

5.Pelletizing — Melt and extrude flakes into recycled PP granules for new product manufacturing
Size reduction is the critical step that determines downstream efficiency and final pellet quality.
