Purpose-Driven Innovation
MacroBag®
Type A LiftPac®
The essence of our success at PacTec lies in a steadfast commitment to addressing real-world challenges through practical, compliant solutions. As the demand for efficient waste packaging escalates, we continuously innovate to meet the stringent requirements of IAEA and DOT regulations, specifically tailored for the nuclear sector. A prime example is the MacroBag®, designed to replace costly stainless steel and plastic boxes used for macroencapsulation with a lightweight, durable, and collapsible option. This breakthrough packaging solution is adept at handling low-level radioactive mixed waste, enhancing the treatment, storage, and transportation processes. Available in sizes ranging from 30 gallons to cargo container dimensions, the MacroBag® is versatile and efficient.
Our recent launch of the IP-2 Rated Drum LiftPac®—offered in both 55-gallon and 85-gallon models—signifies a major advancement in the packaging of legacy out-of-specification drums. This innovative solution blends the durability and convenience of our LiftPac® series with a sturdy structure that meets IP-2 transport requirements. By offering enhanced assurance without the bulk and expense of traditional steel overpacks, we empower our customers to manage their waste packaging needs more effectively.
Continuing our legacy of pioneering packaging solutions, we have developed Type A packaging, designed for the safe transportation of radioactive materials under stringent regulatory oversight. Each Type A package is meticulously designed, tested, and produced to uphold the highest safety standards, ensuring secure containment during the transport of sensitive nuclear materials. Our dedication to superior safety protocols is further demonstrated through rigorous testing for fissile radionuclides.
