Fast forward with the right packaging solutions for used textiles


Erdotex


With almost 30 years of experience in sorting and revaluing used textiles, Erdotex works with renowned organisations to collect used textiles such as clothing, shoes and toys. The company is active in over 30 countries around the world. Its new state-of-the-art sorting facility in Ridderkerk, the Netherlands, was built with one key feature in mind: automation. All key processes, except for the sorting process itself, are automated as much as currently possible, enabling Erdotex to increase its efficiency even more towards the future. This makes Erdotex one of the most influential players in the revaluing textile sector.

Erdotex and LC Packaging:
a relationship based on partnership


“To operate our highly automated textile sorting facility in a successful way, a reliable packaging partner who can keep up with our pace of innovation is one of the key success factors. We are happy to have teamed up with LC Packaging for this.”

Utilising top quality packaging to its maximum

The textile recycling market is a competitive market where packaging is one of the main cost drivers. At the same time, packaging plays a crucial role in ensuring that the clothing reaches its destination in the best possible condition. During the process of loading and unloading containers and trucks, the bags have to endure quite a lot. Additionally, loading capacity is often utilised to the maximum, so the bags should be of the highest quality to prevent tearing or other damage.

A steady supply

In addition to quality, the availability of packaging is of vital importance for Erdotex: running out of bags leads to an immediate suspension of operations. LC Packaging offers Erdotex a steady supply of high-quality WPP textile bags and good emergency stock availability. When certain bag types are being used at a higher pace than expected, Erdotex can count on LC Packaging to provide additional bags from stock, with same-day delivery if needed.

Tailor-made solutions

Together with LC Packaging, Erdotex is looking continuously at innovative and tailor-made solutions that boost operational efficiency. For example, the size of the WPP bags has been adjusted to meet the specific requirements of machinery and ways of working in the new highly automated sorting facility. In addition, LC Packaging and Erdotex have developed a solution to prevent bag labels from detaching during handling: a small flap for the label has been added to the top part of the bag. This way, the label stays on the bag during handling and is easy to reach for scanning purposes when loading a truck or container.

A complete packaging solution

Erdotex and LC Packaging have established a relationship that is based on partnership. The result: a complete packaging solution with high-quality WPP bags, a reliable supply, great customer service and joint innovations that deliver mutual benefits.
