Vaal Bulk Bags Highlights Role of Recycled FIBCs in South Africa’s Bulk Packaging Sector

Published

on

Vaal Bulk Bags, based in the Vaal region of Gauteng, outlines how new and recycled Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) are supporting South Africa’s industrial and agricultural supply chains. The company supplies new, refurbished and bespoke bulk bags to sectors including agriculture, construction, food, recycling and waste management. By purchasing used bags, refurbishing suitable units and supporting polypropylene recycling at end of life, Vaal Bulk Bags contributes to more circular packaging practices while maintaining a focus on quality, reliability and operational efficiency for high-volume material handling.

Vereeniging, Gauteng, South Africa, 24th Feb 2026 – Vereeniging-based bulk packaging specialist Vaal Bulk Bags is drawing attention to the growing role of recycled and refurbished bulk bags in South Africa’s industrial and agricultural value chains, as local businesses seek cost-effective, durable and more sustainable alternatives to conventional packaging and waste-disposal practices.vaalbulkbags.co+2

The company, located in the Vaal region of Gauteng, supplies a broad selection of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) and related big bags to sectors ranging from agriculture and construction to food, recycling, retail, skip and waste management. Operating from a warehouse environment geared for immediate dispatch, Vaal Bulk Bags maintains stock of popular FIBC sizes and configurations, enabling rapid response to recurring bulk handling requirements across these industries.farm+3

Vaal Bulk Bags’ offering spans both new and second-hand bags, including recycled and reconditioned options that have been inspected and prepared for reuse. Each used bag undergoes a quality-check process designed to ensure that it is safe and ready for further service, reflecting an operational focus on consistency and reliability. The company also purchases used bags from customers, diverting them from landfill and channeling them back into productive use where appropriate. This buyback and refurbishment activity positions bulk bags not only as a logistics solution, but also as a mechanism for reducing packaging waste and extending material lifecycles.vereeniging.infoisinfo.co+2

On the new bag side of its operations, Vaal Bulk Bags manufactures big bags to international quality standards, including ISO 9001. New FIBCs are produced and supplied in a variety of sizes, strengths and fabric specifications, with options that include different coatings, ventilation properties, filling spouts and lifting arrangements. Configurations such as valve tops, skirt tops and open tops are offered to match distinct filling, discharge and handling requirements in the field. The company’s product range extends from standard builders’ bags up to bags of approximately 2 metres in height, supporting varied payload and volumetric needs in construction, agriculture, waste and other bulk-handling environments.vaalbulkbags.co+2

In addition to standard stock items, Vaal Bulk Bags makes provision for bespoke manufacturing where applications fall outside typical specifications. When an end user requires a specific size, design or combination of features that is not readily available from the warehouse, the company can design and manufacture a batch of bags tailored to those parameters. This capability enables more precise alignment between bag design and on-site operating conditions, such as equipment constraints, material characteristics or stacking and transport requirements.vereeniging.infoisinfo.co+1

The business has, over time, accumulated experience across a spectrum of industries, including agricultural producers, building and civil contractors, food-related operations, recycling and waste firms, and retail-linked warehousing and distribution activities. Bulk bags supplied into these environments are used for materials such as sand, grain, fertilizers, construction aggregates, waste streams and various industrial commodities that must be stored or transported in large, manageable units. Due to their structure and materials, these bags can typically be used multiple times before replacement, contributing to lower packaging costs per cycle and reduced demand for one-way containers.agrifoodsa+3

Environmental considerations are a recurring theme in the way bulk bags are employed and recovered across the market. By promoting reuse and offering recycled and second-hand bags that have been checked for continued suitability, Vaal Bulk Bags participates in a broader shift toward resource efficiency and landfill diversion within the packaging segment. Bulk bags that have reached the end of their usable life can often be directed to appropriate polypropylene recycling channels, where material is processed for alternative applications. This progression—from new manufacture and multiple reuses to eventual material recycling—illustrates how FIBCs can fit into more circular packaging models in the South African context.vaalbulkbags.co+2

From a logistical standpoint, bulk bags offer several operational efficiencies for users. Their collapsible nature reduces storage space when bags are empty, in contrast with rigid containers that occupy a fixed footprint regardless of load status. Standardized footprints and lifting configurations facilitate handling with forklifts, cranes and other equipment commonly found on farms, construction sites and industrial facilities. As a result, organizations can consolidate loose materials into fewer, larger units, improving stacking, transport utilization and on-site housekeeping.agrifoodsa+1

The Vaal region, where Vaal Bulk Bags is based, functions as an industrial corridor linking various manufacturing, processing and logistics operations in Gauteng and surrounding areas. Locating stocking and refurbishment activities within this geography enables the company to respond quickly to demand spikes and maintain short delivery routes to many regional customers. For industries with continuous material flows—such as mining-linked suppliers, agricultural cooperatives or recycling operations—access to ready-to-ship inventory of bulk bags can help limit disruptions related to packaging availability.farm+2

Vaal Bulk Bags reports that it places emphasis on the quality of both its products and its customer support. Staff members are available to assist organizations that are uncertain about which bag configurations may be most suitable for their specific use cases, including guidance on size selection, fabric options and handling characteristics. This consultative element plays a role when businesses evaluate whether standard stock items will be adequate, or whether a bespoke design might better address operational or safety considerations.vaalbulkbags.co+2

The company’s activities align with broader trends within South Africa’s flexible packaging and bulk handling segments, where FIBCs and similar solutions are increasingly adopted to manage large volumes of materials in a controlled, repeatable manner. As sectors such as construction, agriculture, mining and manufacturing continue to demand packaging that is both robust and adaptable, bulk bags have become a familiar sight across worksites, warehouses and transport networks. Within this environment, Vaal Bulk Bags continues to focus on supplying new and recycled bags, maintaining inventory and offering bespoke manufacturing to support the evolving requirements of these industries.digitaljournal+4

ChangeNOW Brings Martin Masser Into Its Crypto Super App

Published

on

Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, August 5th, 2026, Chainwire

The former TON executive joins as Director of Strategic Partnerships to form the connections behind ChangeNOW’s next phase.

Former TON executive Martin Masser joins ChangeNOW to build strategic partnerships, ecosystem relationships, and media momentum behind its next phase.

Masser comes with experience across traditional banking, Web2 and Web3, including senior growth and business development roles within the TON space. At ChangeNOW, he will lead strategic relationships with blockchain networks, wallets, fintech companies, payment providers and other infrastructure partners.

His appointment comes as ChangeNOW grows beyond standalone crypto services, transitioning to one connected product where users can buy, store, swap, trade, send, receive and grow digital assets. The industry has already built most of the individual components. What it hasn’t solved is the experience of using them together; clients are still expected to switch between platforms, understand different networks and connect the pieces on their own. ChangeNOW’s super app strategy is designed to move that complexity beneath the product.

“Martin brings a rare mix of commercial relationships, product and media understanding,” said Pauline Shangett, Chief Strategy Officer at ChangeNOW. “He knows what the technology can do, what the business needs and how to make the market pay attention. That is exactly the perspective we need as we build the ChangeNOW super app.”

Masser’s role will focus not on accumulating partnership announcements, but on identifying relationships that can make ChangeNOW’s infrastructure more complete and remove unnecessary steps from the сlient experience.

“The best partnerships create access, adoption and attention. My focus is to build relationships that make the product stronger, simpler and more useful, and then help the market understand why they matter. If you are building wallets, networks, payments, stablecoins, fintech infrastructure, consumer crypto or Web3 products, I want to hear from you,” said Masser. 

For consumers, ChangeNOW is combining the core activities of managing crypto within one environment. For businesses, it is developing an integrated set of tools for crypto payments, exchange, stablecoin settlement, digital asset management and Web3 integrations.

As ChangeNOW expands into a crypto super app, its next phase is connecting the right networks, wallets and partners. Masser’s role will be central to building those relationships and turning them into product value, adoption and market momentum.

About ChangeNOW

ChangeNOW.io is a crypto super app built for every crypto move, giving newcomers, professionals, and businesses the tools they need to access Web3 finance in a simple and secure way.

Since 2017, ChangeNOW has grown from a fast, secure, and limitless instant exchange into a trusted platform where storage, swaps, trading, staking, and asset management are covered in one simple experience for millions of clients worldwide.

About Martin Masser

Martin Masser is Director of Strategic Partnerships at ChangeNOW, where he is building partnerships around the company’s expansion into a crypto super app. His career covers traditional banking and capital markets in London and Web3, including his previous role as Head of Growth at TON Foundation. Martin works at the intersection of growth, infrastructure, and partnerships, connecting products and industry players to make crypto services work as one seamless user experience.

allwhere Expands UK Operations with Upgraded Depot

Published

on

New York City, New York, August 5th, 2026, FinanceWire

allwhere, the leading IT asset lifecycle management platform, today announced the expansion of its UK operations with the opening of a larger, upgraded depot. The investment increases warehouse capacity, streamlines fulfillment operations, and strengthens allwhere’s ability to support organizations managing employee devices across the United Kingdom.

The upgraded facility represents a significant investment in allwhere’s existing UK infrastructure, enabling the company to deliver faster turnaround times, greater operational efficiency, and additional inventory capacity as demand for global device lifecycle management continues to grow.

“As more organizations build distributed teams, the operational side of IT has become increasingly important,” said Tony Solomon, VP of Global Operations at allwhere. “This investment strengthens the foundation of our UK operations, allowing us to fulfill orders more efficiently, scale alongside our customers, and continue delivering the high level of service they expect from allwhere.”

Built to Support Growing IT Operations

The expanded UK depot enhances every stage of the device lifecycle by improving warehouse operations and increasing fulfillment capacity.

Customers can expect benefits including:

  • Faster fulfillment, expedited shipping, and improved turnaround times for deployments and retrievals
  • Increased warehouse capacity to support growing inventory needs
  • More efficient storage, inventory management, and redeployment workflows
  • Standardized operational processes that improve consistency and scalability
  • End-to-end lifecycle support managed through a single platform

Whether onboarding a new employee, retrieving equipment from an offboarded team member, storing spare inventory, or preparing devices for redeployment, the upgraded facility enables allwhere to execute these workflows more efficiently while maintaining complete visibility through its platform.

Software and Operations, Unified

Unlike traditional asset management solutions that rely on disconnected software, logistics providers, and warehouses, allwhere combines workflow automation with global operational infrastructure.

Organizations can manage procurement, deployment, inventory, retrievals, storage, repairs, redeployment, and IT asset disposition through a single platform, while allwhere handles the operational execution behind the scenes.

The expanded UK depot further strengthens this model by providing the operational capacity needed to support larger fleets, faster fulfillment, and increasingly complex IT programs.

Continuing to Invest in Global Infrastructure

The UK depot expansion is part of allwhere’s continued investment in its global logistics network. allwhere currently operates full-service depots in the UK, Canada, EU, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Later this year, the company plans to further scale its infrastructure into the APAC region, with upcoming depot services in Australia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and more.

As organizations continue to scale distributed workforces, allwhere remains focused on expanding the operational infrastructure that powers modern IT teams—combining intelligent software with local logistics expertise to simplify device lifecycle management around the world.

About allwhere

allwhere is a laptop retrieval and IT procurement company that automates the IT asset lifecycle for companies ranging from startups to enterprises. From procurement and deployment to storage, maintenance, and retrieval, allwhere provides the infrastructure businesses need to support a global, distributed workforce.

Borderless.xyz Teams Up with Mastercard to Advance Trusted Cross-Border Stablecoin Payment Flows

Published

on

New York, New York, August 5th, 2026, FinanceWire

Borderless.xyz will explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential can help bring greater trust and confidence to cross-border stablecoin payments.

Borderless.xyz and Mastercard are collaborating on a new pilot to explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential’s standards-based framework can support trusted interactions across cross-border stablecoin payment flows. 

Stablecoins are increasingly being used to move value across borders, creating new opportunities for faster and more efficient payments. As adoption grows, participants need trusted ways to understand who they are interacting with and whether counterparties have met appropriate standards and requirements. 

Through the pilot, Borderless.xyz and Mastercard will explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential can address that challenge by providing assurance signals that participants can incorporate into their own approval, compliance and risk processes. 

Mastercard Crypto Credential helps support trusted and verifiable interactions across digital asset ecosystems. Through common standards and trusted assurance signals, it is designed to help bring more confidence, transparency and certainty to transactions across blockchain networks. 

The collaboration pairs Mastercard’s work in building trust and standards for digital asset ecosystems with Borderless.xyz’s network of stablecoin payment providers. Together, the companies are exploring how trusted governance signals can help reduce friction and bring greater confidence to cross-border stablecoin payments as adoption grows. 

“One of the biggest friction points for stablecoin payment operators isn’t the payments. It’s that compliance doesn’t scale the same way the network does. Every new provider means starting the verification process over. Correspondent banking solved this decades ago: originating compliance trusted downstream, no re-execution at every counterparty. Mastercard is applying that model to digital asset payments. Borderless.xyz is the network it runs through.” – Kevin Lehtiniitty, CEO and Co-Founder, Borderless.xyz

“Innovation is most powerful when it builds over time. Our relationship with Borderless.xyz began through Start Path and has continued to grow as the digital asset ecosystem has matured,” said Raj Dhamodharan, executive vice president, Blockchain & Digital Assets at Mastercard. “Today, we’re excited to take the next step together, exploring how Mastercard Crypto Credential can help bring greater trust and confidence to stablecoin payment flows across a growing network of participants.” 

The pilot brings together several of Borderless.xyz‘s network participants consisting of Infinia, Walapay, and Koywe, many of whom are also alumni of Mastercard Start Path, the company’s startup engagement program. These partners will leverage Mastercard Crypto Credential as some of the first stablecoin payment operators to run on the single-audit compliance model at network scale. 

About Borderless.xyz

Borderless.xyz is a global stablecoin orchestration and liquidity network. Its single API connects wallet infrastructure to 15+ licensed stablecoin providers across 100+ countries. It lets businesses enter new markets without new integrations, get failover so payments don’t drop, and make providers compete for your volume on price.
