Definition & Explanation
Free-flowing or granular material transported, handled, or stored in large quantities without individual packaging, such as grain, minerals, fertiliser, or granulates. Bulk materials move loose, in silo vehicles, bulk containers, or flexible packaging such as big bags, and require specific load-securing and moisture- or contamination-protection measures during transport.
