Why Used Bulk Bags Fit This Market
Raleigh operations value speed and cost savings. Used bulk bags (FIBCs) deliver both: ready-to-ship stock avoids import delays, and companies typically save 25–40% on packaging costs.
Sustainability is another benefit, especially for biotech and food processors working to meet ESG benchmarks.
For example, a local pharmaceutical contract manufacturer stages chemical powders in high-spec used bulk bags, ensuring cleanroom prep without paying premiums for new bags.
