High density polyethylene or HDPE woven sacks have become a versatile commodity in the packaging industry Introduced for the first time in India during the year 1969 it has over the years replaced the conventional jute bags to a large extent. HDPE sacks have an edge over the conventional jute sacks in the sense that the former are light in weight, strong and attractive. These sacks are immune to the effect of corrosion, decay, moisture, atmosphere, rats, rodents, moths and insects. Being superior in quality and economic as compared to the traditional jute material, these modern sacks have gradually captured a large market for packing fertilizers, chemicals, food stuffs, animal foods, oil cakes etc. Sacks made of HDPE are laminated with LDPE inside it. This gives protection against moisture, air and the material packed cannot penetrate out of the sack. Applications of HDPE Woven Sacks: The HDPE bags are used in bulk packaging of diverse material including: • Plastic Resins • Granules • Chemicals • Milk Powder • Rubber • Chemicals • The current demand of woven sacks in North Eastern Region is estimated to be in the range of 600 - 650 MTPM of which only 60 - 70% of the requirement is fulfilled by local industries, Cement, Fertilizer and Flour Mills are major woven sacks consuming sectors in North-Eastern Region. The only fertilizer complex (urea based) of NER is located in Assam with installed capacity of 0.5 MMTPA, and has reported a production growth of 12% in the past five years. Apart from urea complex, there are 9 bio-fertilizer units in the region with a total installed capacity of 1115 MTPA. Thus, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.
