      • Industrial packaging: packaging for products such as cement, coal, firewood/kindling, pet foods, salts & chemicals.
      • Geotechnical engineering: due to the woven nature of the material, polypropylene is great for filtering and draining, making it popular on construction sites.
      • Flood control: used to minimise or prevent the devastating effects of flood waters.
