CENTRAL BAG COMPANY'S SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVE
Sustainability is a core part of our business model. As a nearly paperless office, we’ve embraced the digital revolution, relying on digital tools for document creation and storage to reduce paper waste. We also have a robust waste management system, with separate bins for recyclable and non-recyclable materials. This allows us to recycle 100% of our manufacturing scrap, which is repurposed into a variety of products. Additionally, we actively participate in recycling initiatives like deposit programs. Overall, our commitment to sustainability is woven throughout our operations, from minimizing our environmental footprint to promoting social development and economic prosperity for the long term.

We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint and continually seek new ways to lead the industry with eco-conscious solutions. A key aspect of our efforts is educating others and promoting environmental responsibility. Our leaders actively participate in conferences, where they share knowledge and learn about the latest advancements in sustainable practices. One exciting innovation is the introduction of rPET bulk bags, made from 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate. These bags are designed to be shredded after use and repurposed into new bulk bags, closing the loop on sustainability. Reduce, reuse, recycle!
“CENTRAL BAG COMPANY IS CLOSING THE LOOP ON PLASTIC WASTE AND WE ARE PROUD TO BE PARTNERS WITH THEM IN HELPING OUR WORLD BE A CLEANER PLACE."
Central Bag Company is one of our best suppliers of Polypropylene recycled material here at St. Joseph Plastics. They have been a solid supplier for many years and amazing to work with as well.
We primarily receive post-industrial bag scrap in bale form as well as bags cut into strips (trim) in bale form. We collect the scrap plastic from suppliers such as Central Bag and start by shredding/grinding the material into smaller pieces. The material then runs through our machines where it is filtered, and heat is applied to melt the scrap down to a more liquid state. Once melted the scrap is then pushed through an extruder line and is formed into long strands and cooled in a water tank. Last the strands run down a line and are cut into pellets as the finished recycled product. The final pellet is a new product produced from the same material that Central Bag has provided us. These reprocessed pellets are then sold to our customers and used to mold a range of products from flowerpots to trash containers. Central Bag Company is closing the loop on plastic waste and we are proud to be partners with them in helping our world be a cleaner place.
