Key players in the multiwall bags industry are expanding and advancing their technology, such as the introduction of new polyethylene (PE) to heighten barrier characteristics, augment strength and longevity, decrease weight, and endorse sustainability through increased recyclability and lessened environmental harm. The Recyclable Low-Friction Quality (LFQ) material denotes a sustainable substance that keeps low friction features while being manufactured for recyclability, enabling effective waste management and lessening environmental damage. For example, in September 2024, ProAmpac, a US-based packaging firm, unveiled the QUADFLEX Recyclable LFQ. This large-scale quad-seal pouch aims to meet the growing demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions for premium pet food, lawn and garden maintenance products, and dry foods weighing up to 40 lbs. The QUADFLEX Recyclable LFQ allows brands to retain the enhanced allure of a quad-sealed bag while supplying exceptional durability for heavier fill weights - all within an environmentally friendly package.
