Abstract (en)
There is described a flexible intermediate bulk container (100), or "FIBC", for the transport and storage of bulk goods comprising at least a bottom part (10) and a sidewall (15) made of pieces of flexible fabric material. The sidewall (15) includes a woven fabric (20) comprising woven strands produced out of recycled polypropylene (rPP). An exterior side (15A) of the sidewall (15) comprises a laminated film (21) of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) that is laminated onto an outer side of the woven fabric (20), which laminated film (21) is provided with an opacifying layer (21A), especially a printable or printed layer (21A) that can be printed with motifs. Preferably, the bottom part (10) likewise includes a woven fabric (20) comprising woven strands produced out of recycled polypropylene (rPP). Even more preferably, an interior side (15B) of the sidewall (15) and an interior side (10A) of the bottom part (10) each comprise a further laminated film (25) of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) that is laminated onto an inner side of the woven fabric (20), which further laminated film (25) may especially be a food-grade film.
