Waste and Recycling

Waste processors, recycling facilities and environmental service providers rely on BWI for packaging that supports safe handling, efficient material flow and compliant containment.

Our FIBCs, liners and specialty packaging handle recyclables, waste streams, organics and scrap, and we make covers and containment liners that protect materials and assets from moisture, dust and weather.

Waste and Recycling FAQs

How are bulk bags used in waste and recycling?

FIBCs store and transport recyclables, waste, organics, scrap and processed commodities with efficient handling.

Do waste streams need liners?

Fine materials, organics and moisture-sensitive waste often need a PE liner to prevent leaks, contamination or moisture.

What sizes are used in waste and recycling?

Common sizes range from 35 x 35 x 35 in to 40 x 40 x 60 in, depending on material density, handling and weight.

Are bulk bags reusable for waste?

It depends on the bag’s rating, condition and the material. Many operations permit reuse when bags stay structurally sound and uncontaminated.

Do you have bags for hazardous waste?

Yes. We make UN rated bulk bags in Calgary, and many of our hazardous waste solutions are approved by Transport Canada.
