Environmental Impact

One of the biggest benefits of flexible liners and bag-in-box liners is the environmental impact they have, which is especially significant as brands continue to refine their long-term sustainability goals and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policies. Some of the key environmental benefits include:

• Enhanced shelf life: Aseptic IBC liners are specialized packaging solutions designed to maintain the purity of liquid products during filling and storage. These liners help maintain the product’s purity and quality by preventing contamination from bioburden or foreign particles in the production process.
• Liners tend to be low-density plastic, which reduces the overall amount of plastic that’s used.
• Flexible liners can also be created with innovative discharge features, enhancing product evacuation compared to conventional containers or bottles for condiment and sauce packaging.
• The box portion of bag-in-box packaging is 100 percent recyclable and biodegradable, and recyclable films continue to gain traction in the market for use with liners. Rigid containers, conversely, don’t maximize product evacuation and almost all of the container is going to landfill.
