Why Woven Polypropylene Firewood Bags Are the Smart Choice Woven polypropylene firewood bags from Pacific Packaging Australia are designed for durability, breathability, and sustainability — making them the go-to solution for storing, handling, and transporting firewood across Australia. Why Choose Woven PP Bags for Firewood? Durability & Strength: Built to handle rugged conditions, our woven PP bags are tear-resistant and capable of carrying heavy loads — ideal for sharp-edged or dense firewood. Breathability: Unlike traditional plastic bags, woven polypropylene allows airflow. This ventilation keeps firewood dry, reducing the risk of mould or rot from trapped moisture. Eco-Friendly & Reusable: Reusability is key in reducing single-use packaging waste. Our bags can be used multiple times, making them a sustainable option for environmentally conscious businesses and households. Customisation Options: We offer custom-printed firewood bags featuring your branding, logo, or barcode — perfect for retail display or resale. Sizes to Suit Your Needs: Available in two practical sizes — 15kg and 20kg — our bags give customers the flexibility to choose what works best for their product and end use. Specialised Kindling Bags: We also supply kindling bags with or without pre-printed weights, catering to wholesalers, firewood suppliers, and hardware retailers. The Complete Firewood Packaging Solution Whether you're a firewood supplier, reseller, or simply looking for a practical way to package your product, our woven polypropylene firewood bags tick all the boxes — strong, breathable, customisable, and environmentally friendly.

Recycling FIBC Bulk Bags: A Step Towards a Greener Future At Pacific Packaging Australia, sustainability isn’t just a commitment — it’s a principle that drives how we do business. As a proudly Australian-owned packaging supplier, we’re passionate about reducing our environmental footprint through smarter recycling and reuse practices. Why Recycling Matters Recycling is essential to environmental protection. It helps conserve natural resources, reduce waste, and limit pollution — all while extending the lifecycle of materials like polypropylene. Conserves resources: Reduces the need for virgin raw materials. Reduces energy use: Recycling polypropylene uses less energy than producing new plastic. Minimises landfill waste: Less plastic ends up in landfill. Improves environmental outcomes: Fewer emissions and less pollution. Recyclable Polypropylene Material Our FIBC bulk bags are manufactured from 100% recyclable polypropylene (PP). This durable and lightweight material can be collected, processed, and repurposed into new plastic products. In fact, recycling just one FIBC bag can save up to 7.4 cubic yards of landfill space per tonne of plastic. How to Choose the Right Bag for Reuse Not all bulk bags are created equal — and not all are safe for reuse. Bags are typically graded based on condition: Grade A: Clean and bright white Grade B: Mostly white with minimal marks Grade C: Coloured or visibly dirty Choose FIBC bags that are rated for reuse and meet FIBCA (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container Association) guidelines. This ensures safe handling and consistent performance. Signs a Bag Should Be Rejected Damaged or frayed lifting loops Contamination on the bag’s exterior Dampness, mould, or mildew Embedded wood splinters from pallets Our 5-Step Reuse & Recycling Process Reject: Remove any bags that don’t meet quality standards. Clean: Ensure bags are free from dust or residue. Recondition: Repair components like loops or seams as needed. Track: Log the usage history of each bag. Test: Perform strength tests before reusing bags. When Bags Reach End-of-Life Once bags can no longer be safely reused, they go through a structured recycling process: Collection: Sorted by grade (A, B, or C). Cleaning & Sorting: Zips, straps, and contaminants are removed. Shredding: Bags are shredded into flakes. Separation: Materials sorted by colour, melting point, and density. Compounding: Melted and pelletised into usable plastic feedstock. Did you know? Less than 1% of polypropylene is recycled globally. The rest ends up in landfill or as environmental waste.
