Big Bags for Waste Processing

Efficient waste processing starts with the right packaging. High-capacity big bags for plastic flakes, rubber granules, shredded PET, HDPE, LDPE, tyre-derived materials and production waste — from initial sorting to secure storage and onward transport.

Why Choose Big Bags for Waste Processing?

Big bags are an essential part of modern waste processing systems. Designed to carry volumes of up to 3 m³ and weights up to 1,500 kg, they replace dozens of small containers or sacks — saving space, improving safety, and boosting efficiency across industrial recycling operations.

📦 High-volume capacity

Collect more waste per bag, reducing the number of trips and movements needed across your facility.

🔄 Reusable construction

Woven PP bags with a 6:1 safety factor can be reused multiple times — especially when fitted with spout tops and document pockets.

📐 Space-saving design

Empty bags collapse and stack easily — ideal for limited storage areas in busy recycling facilities.

🏗️ Simple to handle

Four lifting loops allow forklift, crane, or telehandler movement with minimal strain and no special equipment.

♻️ Recyclable material

Clean, uncontaminated PP big bags can be recycled at end of life — creating a closed-loop system and reducing total waste footprint.

⚖️ Dramatically lighter packaging

A 1.5 kg bag holds up to 1,500 kg of material — a 1,000:1 strength-to-weight ratio. No other packaging format matches this efficiency.

What they are used for

Plastic Waste Recycling with Big Bags

Industries handling plastics like PET, HDPE, LDPE, PVC, PP and PS rely on big bags to sort, store, and move their material. These plastics are often shredded into small flakes and processed into new materials — and our big bags are suitable for every phase of this workflow.

Open-top bags are perfect for fast filling during collection and initial sorting. For finer materials like plastic flakes or granules, spout-top bags offer dust protection and better filling control — compatible with automated equipment, keeping your facility cleaner and your materials protected.

A 1.5 kg big bag from 123BigBags can support the processing of up to 1,500 kg of plastic recyclables — making it one of the most efficient packaging options available for the plastic recycling industry.

Big Bags for Rubber and Tyre Recycling

Big bags for tyre and rubber recycling

Tyre recycling facilities shred used tyres into crumb rubber or rubber mulch. These processed materials are packed in reinforced big bags for safe storage and transport. Our heavy-duty bags are built with extra-strong fabric and spout tops for clean filling and discharge.

500–1,500 kg capacity

Reduces handling steps by allowing larger, more efficient batch processing. Ideal for transport to manufacturers of playground surfaces, synthetic turf, or asphalt products.

180 g/m² and above for sharp rubber

Specialist models with higher GSM fabric, internal coatings, or reinforced panels resist tearing or puncture from sharp rubber pieces.

Single-use or multi-use

Choose 5:1 safety factor (single-trip) or 6:1 safety factor (multi-trip certified) bags depending on your application and handling programme.

Big Bags 2 m³ and 3 m³ — For High-Volume Operations

For companies dealing with large waste volumes, we offer 2 m³ and 3 m³ big bags. These tall bags are widely used in the recycling and construction industries for maximum storage and operational efficiency — some models reach 2.5 m in height.

2 m³ Big Bag

Double the standard volume for high-throughput waste streams. Reinforced stitching and thicker fabric maintain bag stability under heavy loads. Reduces the number of bag changes per shift.

Ideal for: mixed recyclates, shredded plastics, light industrial waste

3 m³ Big Bag

Maximum volume for facilities looking to streamline sorting and reduce storage clutter. Up to 2.5 m tall — requires appropriate ceiling clearance and forklift reach. Most efficient cost-per-m³ of any bag format.

Ideal for: bulk plastic bales, light recyclables, high-volume sorting operations

Choosing Between Open-Top and Spout-Top Big Bags

The right filling option depends on your waste type and logistics needs. Both designs are compatible with lifting loops and document pockets for identification.

FeatureOpen-TopSpout-Top
Best forBulky waste — rubble, soil, coarse recyclatesFine or dusty waste — plastic flakes, granules, powders
Filling methodDirect pouring, shovelling, conveyorAutomated or controlled filling nozzle
Dust protectionContents exposed during fillingTied spout keeps material sealed and protected
Recommended forShort-term indoor storage, fast-fill operationsTransport, multi-use operations, automated lines
CostLowest costModerate — justified by dust control and material protection

Choose based on your material type, exposure risks, and budget. For fine materials on automated filling lines, the spout-top always pays back — cleaner facility, less product loss, better filling control. For coarse waste in manual operations, open-top is the straightforward choice.
