Please see below for the latest tariff updates and how Global-Pak is responding.

Feed bags play a critical role in modern agriculture, ensuring that grain, animal feed, seed, and other farm materials are stored and transported safely. Whether you’re operating a feed mill, supplying livestock feed, or running a farm, choosing the right type of feed bag can significantly impact product quality, efficiency, and cost. Today, feed bags come in a range of durable materials and constructions designed to withstand handling, shipping, and long-term storage in demanding agricultural environments.

The ISO 21898 flexible intermediate bulk containers standard establishes essential requirements for the design, testing, and labeling of FIBCs used to transport and store dry bulk materials. Developed to improve global consistency and safety, the standard provides a structured framework for evaluating how bulk bags perform under real-world stresses, environmental conditions, and handling practices. Its guidance helps manufacturers, distributors, and end users align packaging performance with regulatory and operational expectations.

bulk bags play a crucial role in the chemical industry by offering a safe, reliable, and adaptable method for storing and transporting powders, granules, catalysts, and specialty compounds. As chemical supply chains require strict control over contamination, static discharge, moisture, and handling hazards, these containers provide a structured approach to managing sensitive materials throughout production and distribution.

We would like to share an important update regarding recent U.S. tariff developments and what they mean for your current and future orders. Below is a summary of the current, confirmed status:

In November 2025, Global-Pak had the privilege of attending the EcoVadis World Tour in New York City, a gathering of sustainability, procurement, and supply chain leaders committed to shaping a resilient, responsible future. The event was a powerful reminder that sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a business imperative.

When asbestos containing materials are removed and hauled, regulations require the load to be fully encapsulated to prevent fiber release during transport. Roll-off liners are the simplest, most reliable way to achieve that containment inside open-top dumpsters and roll-off boxes—protecting workers, the public, and the environment while helping contractors stay compliant.

If you use roll-off boxes for waste, sludge, demolition debris, or contaminated soils, roll-off liners protect your container, speed cleanouts, and reduce cross-contamination risk. But what do they cost? The short answer: it depends on size, thickness, material, and options. Larger and more complex liners typically cost more due to the additional material and labor involved. It’s like buying a car, if you want the standard model, it’s cheaper and should work well, but as you add more bells and whistles, the price goes up.

To help you plan the months ahead, here’s a concise update on resin pricing, lead times, and EPR regulations

As U.S. states continue to roll out Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws for packaging, compliance deadlines are approaching fast. Today, seven states have active EPR frameworks — and each has its own timeline for registration, data reporting, fee obligations, and other requirements.

Across the United States, packaging regulations are undergoing the most significant transformation in decades. Driven by rising waste volumes, strained recycling systems, and increasing consumer pressure, new laws are shifting responsibility for packaging waste from municipalities to the companies that place packaging on the market.
