PACTEC’S TRANSPAC EXCLUSIVE SOLUTION FOR BIRD FLU
USDA orders over 1,500 custom-developed bags to contain Bird Flu outbreak.
BACKGROUND
In Spring of 2015, the USDA confirmed several cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks across the US. A nationwide organic waste company was contracted to gather and dispose of all infected wild birds and commercial poultry flocks. In order to do this properly, PacTec, Inc. was sought out to custom develop a bag that would completely encapsulate the pathogenic remains, including any smells or off gases. A large number of bags would be needed in very short order and shipped to outbreak locations across the country.
OUTCOME
PacTec was able to design a custom bag for the contract company that met all USDA requirements in short order. Using our patented zipper closure system, a heavyweight woven, coated polypropylene outer bag layer with a heavy weight polyethylene inner liner, PacTec manufactured and shipped over 1,500 bags to all outbreak areas. The USDA has now issued a mandate that this custom manufactured bag from PacTec will be the exclusive remediation method for future outbreaks.
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
“We could not have been nearly as efficient and timely in containing this outbreak without the help of PacTec, Inc. What could have been a national disaster was remedied in short order.”
HIGHLIGHTS
- Custom solution designed, manufactured and shipped in record time
- Met all USDA mandates to contain the pathogen
