Worldwide innovation – machine made 100% non-woven R-PET bags made in fully automatic way.
Machine-made
Non-woven R-PET bags
Back in 2019 BAGFACTORY started to research & develop flexible ultrasound material thermal joining technology for automatic non-woven R-PET bag manufacturing process (PET-RPET GO).
In the production process, the company uses ultrasonic technologies for thermal edge joining. Technological production processes using ultrasonic technologies are constantly improved by working with the researchers from KTU Ultrasound Institute.
In 2022 with the participation of researchers from the KTU Ultrasound institute BAGFACTORY launched worldwide innovation with new ultrasonic material thermal bonding technology for automatic production of non-woven R-PET material bags.
What this means is that from now on our partners would be able to order non-woven R-PET bags made in a fully automatic way from a European manufacturer.
Standard non-woven R-PET bags made by needle and thread method can be replaced by machine made non-woven R-PET production technology in Europe, Lithuania.

INNOVATION IN 100% NON-WOVEN R-PET BAGS
We managed to be the first among our competitors which developed flexible ultrasound material thermal joining technology for production of 100% non-woven R-PET bags.
MADE FROM 100% POST CONSUMER PET WASTE
We produce non-woven R-PET bags from 100% recycled PET consumer waste.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY PRINCIPLES IN PRODUCTION
Our production process uses post-consumer rPET and mono-material designs. For applicable products, ultrasonic bonding allows materials to be joined without adhesives. We also use water-based inks and electricity from certified renewable energy sources.
MADE FROM MONOLAYER MATERIAL
Due to sustainability approach we produce non-woven R-PET bags from monolayer material as this helps to recycle product 100%.
REDUCED CO₂ EMISSION
Non-woven R-PET bag production produces 65.5% less carbon than virgin PET and 12% less than cotton.
WATER USED IN THE CLEANING PROCESS
Non-woven R-PET production need only 10% water compared to virgin PET non-woven material production.
REDUCED ENERGY CONSUMPTION
In Non-woven R-PET production needs only 30% of the energy which is required for virgin PET production.
RETURNS PET TO THE MATERIAL CYCLE
PET already in circulation can be returned to the material cycle and used as raw material for new products, including bags. This reduces the need for virgin PET and keeps existing plastic in use for longer.
HIGH HEAT RESISTANCE
Due to PET fiber construction the non-woven R-PET bags have high resistibility to high temperatures which means original bag would not loose its shape so quickly.
WATER-BASED INKS
We use water-based inks to print our non-woven rPET bags. The inks comply with applicable EU requirements.
LOAD CAPACITY
Depending on the product specification, selected bags have been tested to carry up to 40 kg and are designed for repeated use.
SUITABLE FOR INDIRECT FOOD CONTACT
Our non-woven rPET bag is suitable for indirect food contact when used as secondary packaging.
RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY IN PRODUCTION
All electricity used in our bag production comes from certified renewable energy sources.
