BOXON has announced it is introducing a new generation of rPET Big Bags made from recycled PET bottles.
Described as the first recycled Big Bag approved for direct food contact, the solution will be launched across the EMEA market.
The move has been heralded as representing an important step forward in circular industrial packaging. By combining recycled materials with high-performance characteristics and food-contact approval, Boxon said the launch will enable companies to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the required safety and operational standards.
Made from recycled PET bottles, the bags are said to provide a significantly lower carbon footprint while also improving performance in demanding bulk-handling environments.
“Companies today need packaging solutions that support both compliance and operational efficiency,” said Florence Abgrall, business unit manager at Boxon. “Our rPET Big Bags make it possible to transition to recycled materials without compromising durability, handling performance or supply reliability, while also meeting strict food-contact requirements.”
The rPET Big Bags are designed for food, chemical and other demanding industrial applications. Boxon explained the material offers advantages compared with traditional solutions, including improved UV resistance, higher abrasion resistance, and better form stability during transport and handling. The bags are also said to provide sharper print quality, enabling clearer markings, improved traceability, and better control in regulated supply chains.
