Where Do Desiccant Bags Go After Use?

Desiccant bags are low-cost products that play an important role in protecting goods from moisture. However, after use, businesses face the challenge of handling a large amount of waste:

• Most Silicagel and CaCl₂ desiccants are difficult to dispose of.
• A shipping container typically uses between 12 and 25 kg of desiccants, generating a considerable amount of waste after each shipment.

Why Are Businesses Interested in Degradable Desiccant Bags?

Today, many international brands aim to use at least 30% recycled materials in their products before they are released to the market. As a result, businesses need to meet two requirements at the same time:

• Effectively protect goods during storage and transportation.
• Prioritize environmentally friendly materials to reduce waste.

Degradable desiccant bags are considered a new approach that helps reduce the burden of waste treatment while contributing to greener supply chains.

Which Types of Desiccants Are Degradable?

Not all desiccants are developed with environmental sustainability in mind. Currently, there are two main types of desiccants on the market:

• Non-degradable desiccants: Typical examples include Silicagel and CaCl₂. These chemical desiccants may have a greater environmental impact when used in large quantities and high concentrations.
• Degradable desiccants: These include products made from natural materials such as activated carbon, clay, and other environmentally friendly minerals.
