North America produces more solid waste per capita than anywhere else on earth, and this waste disposal is a great environmental problem. Of the 80% of solid waste dumped in landfills, more than 30% consists of containers and packaging. As a result, regulatory authorities have introduced regulations that limit the use of disposable packaging.

 

We need to change the way we do business.

Consider the benefits of using intermediate bulk containers:

Not only do the inherent characteristics if IBCs eliminate the disposal of packaging, but companies that use IBCs also increase their own cost-effectiveness and improve their bottom lines.

 

• RECYCLABLE – Steel IBCs are 100% recyclable

• REUSABLE – IBCs eliminate the costly and environmentally-damaging disposal of drums and other forms of packaging

• CONSERVATION – IBCs conserve raw materials, resources, and energy required to produce              non–reusable forms of packaging

• EASILY CLEANED – The large top opening facilitates any cleaning prior to reuse

• EASILY HANDLED AND WAREHOUSED – Square shape and stackability maximizes valuable storage space. IBCs are easily handled by forklift trucks, hand carts, and overhead cranes

• EASE OF USE – IBCs are quickly and easily filled and emptied, resulting in speedy turnaround

• COST EFFECTIVE – IBCs save companies handling and pallet costs, and allow amortization of capita costs over a long service life
