Jumbo Bag, the Economical Packing that Rescues the Environment from 362 Million Drums Annually
Jumbo bag is an environmentally friendly packaging that has emerged to make a gigantic revolution in the packing industry. This type of packaging has recently become very popular. In the video below we have reviewed the detailed about jumbo bag:
Recently, bitumen buyers are willing to buy bitumen in this type of packaging according to its lower price and compatibility with the environment.
The annual consumption of bitumen is 120 million ton. Approximately 60 % of bitumen, meaning 72 million ton is packed in 362 million new steel drums. These drums are not commodious enough for the environment. They cause environmental pollution by leakage. Occasionally, they break and become damaged.
While unloading the drums, some of them get damaged and the black viscous material contaminates its surroundings. Furthermore, it has an excess of 3-5% bitumen waste. While the jumbo bag reduces the bitumen wastage to approximately zero.
Compared to drums, jumbo bags are very cost-efficient and have no negative impact on the environment. Drums are made from new cold rolled steels and are massive. Jumbo bags are lighter since they are made from polypropylene that has a low density.
Polybags are two-layered. The inner lining is 100% consumable and the outer lining is recyclable.
It’s imperative to heat the bitumen when discharging the drum. Though, in the case of a jumbo bag, consumers only tear the outer layer and throw it in the molten furnace with the inner layer.
In other cases of jumbo bag application, the inner layer can be recycled. The outer layer can be converted to some cheap tote bags.

The specifications of the two common types of jumbo bags in the bitumen industry are shown in the table below.
| Type of jumbo bag | Dimensions | Height | Cage dimensions |
| Bag 1 MT | 100*107*107 cm | 100 cm | 100*105*105 |
| Bag 250 kg | 100*55*55 cm | 100 cm | 100*105*105 |
In addition to bitumen, jumbo bags are used in a variety of industries such as petrochemicals, chemicals, construction, and food and agriculture. Altogether, the Jumbo bag plays a significant role in many industries to pack the materials efficiently.
Infinity Galaxy has been offering jumbo bags to its clients throughout the world to reduce the environmental impact of bitumen cargoes. Jumbo bags reduce packaging costs besides saving our endangered environment.
