About Seller: Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) have been utilized for packaging purposes since the 1940s. The predecessors of modern bulk bags, including tote bags and jumbo bags, were initially made of PVC rubber and were primarily used in the rubber industry for transporting carbon black in two-ton quantities. By the 1960s, advancements in polypropylene and specialized weaving techniques led to the adoption of bulk bags by oil and chemical companies for handling granular or coarse-grained base chemicals and fertilizers. The use of bulk bags expanded across various industries in the late 1970s and has since experienced significant growth worldwide. In North America, FIBC shipments have seen a consistent annual increase of 10% to 15% over the past decade. Currently, bulk bags are extensively used throughout North America, with the availability of filling and discharging machines contributing to a substantial rise in usage from 3 million bags in 1988 to over 30 million in 2002. The popularity and utilization of bulk bags are expected to continue growing due to their ease of handling, space-saving benefits compared to rigid containers, hygienic advantages during discharge, lower disposal costs, labor cost savings, waste reduction, suitability for various modes of transportation, and environmental friendliness through reuse and recycling.
