Video transcript

  1. 0:00A woven sack is layers: tape fabric, print surface, moisture barrier and closure. Layers that stay polypropylene keep it in one stream; anything else must be removed.
  2. 0:13At the plant, bales are inspected, shredded and washed. In the float tank, PP floats; polyester thread and heavily filled tape sink. Too much filler loses real PP, so cap it and list it on the batch certificate.
  3. 0:28Then design for the recycler. Use a PP tie layer, PP thread or a heat-sealed bottom, and a liner that pulls out. Skip paper laminates; consider matte film instead.
  4. 0:41Curbside sorters tangle on woven fabric, so sacks go to farm-plastic collections, dealers or processors. Return them empty, dry and liner-free. Get a written acceptance spec first, and word claims specifically.
  5. 0:55Send your construction and end use; we'll review and quote.
