Bagfactory - Sustainability | Non woven and paper bags manufacturer

Working Towards Shared Sustainability Goals

At Bagfactory, we work with businesses towards shared sustainability goals. We offer products made from recycled post-industrial PP and post-consumer PET. These materials help reduce the need for virgin plastic and return existing materials to the production cycle.

Sustainability and Innovation in Bag Production

We apply sustainability principles when developing our products and production processes. This includes improving our technology, material use and bag construction while considering function, quality and customer requirements.

Our Mission

Our mission is to produce quality packaging solutions that meet changing business needs. We combine production technology, practical design and carefully selected materials. The electricity used in our operations comes from renewable energy sources.

Innovation at Bagfactory

Together with the Kaunas University of Technology Ultrasound Research Institute, we have developed ultrasonic bonding processes for non-woven materials. This technology speeds up production and allows certain products to be made without adhesives.

Depending on the bag type, selected models can carry between 15 and 40 kg. We also use water-based inks and printing technology that does not require lamination, avoiding an additional laminate layer in the product.

We use only

certified materials

What We Offer

We offer bags made from non-woven rPP and rPET materials. Depending on the product specification, the recycled content of the material can be up to 100%. Selected bags are made from a single type of material, and disposal should follow local waste management guidelines.

Our machine-made non-woven bags are available in different thicknesses, shapes and sizes, with a choice of handle styles and water-based printing. Depending on the model, they can be folded, washed by hand at temperatures below 30°C and carry between 15 and 40 kg.

We also produce machine-made paper bags in a range of sizes. They can be printed with water-based inks, and options made from FSC®-certified paper are available.

Recycled Non-Woven Spunbond (rPP)

Recycled non-woven spunbond (rPP) is made from secondary polypropylene generated during manufacturing. Returning this material to production reduces the amount that becomes waste and lowers the need for virgin polypropylene.

Using recycled material keeps existing polypropylene in circulation for longer. This follows the circular economy principle of returning materials to the production cycle and using them to make new products.

When designing our non-woven bags, we consider their material composition and how the materials can be handled after use. We use recycled raw materials and develop mono-material designs. For applicable products, ultrasonic bonding also allows us to avoid adhesives.

Recycled PET (rPET)

Recycled PET (rPET) is made from post-consumer PET, such as used plastic bottles. The material is collected, sorted and cleaned before being shredded into flakes, melted and processed into fibres. These fibres can then be used to produce non-woven material for bags.

This process follows circular economy principles by returning used PET to the material cycle as raw material for new products. Using rPET reduces the need for virgin PET and keeps existing plastic in circulation for longer.

Paper

We offer kraft paper in brown, white and ribbed finishes. It is strong and widely used in packaging.

Brown kraft paper is made from unbleached wood pulp, while white kraft paper is bleached and retains the strength associated with kraft paper. Ribbed kraft has a textured surface that gives the bag a distinct appearance and structure.

Properly sorted kraft paper bags may be recycled where local waste management facilities accept them.

Our Approach to Sustainability

Renewable energy

All electricity used in our production comes from renewable sources. This reduces the emissions associated with electricity use.

Recycled Material Content

For our non-woven bags, we use materials in which the recycled PP content can be up to 100%. The rPP comes from secondary raw materials generated during manufacturing, while the rPET comes from post-consumer material. We can also offer kraft paper containing recycled material. Our products are designed with repeated use and recycling in mind.
