Container Sustainability
Means Less Commercial Packaging Waste
Bulk Container Storage and Shipping Sustainability has become more vital than ever before.
Business and industrial packaging waste is produced on a massive commercial scale by large corporations. Cardboard boxes, single-use drums, wooden pallets, and other forms of packaging used in business supply chains account for the majority of waste generated in the United States.
Every year, more than 4 million tons of commercial waste and debris enter marine ecosystems. It is predicted that by 2050, there will be more industrial waste in the oceans than fish. Major corporations will provide much of this when they discard single-use packaging.
According to recent trends, a large majority of consumers believe it is important for businesses to implement changes that will positively affect and reduce harm to the environment. Many would change their consumption habits to reduce their impact on the environment, while others have gone so far as to paying higher prices for products made with sustainable materials.
Because the most significant source of waste in our country today is commercial waste from large businesses using non-sustainable packaging and storage materials, Custom Equipment Company provides sustainable and reusable packaging that companies can use over and over again to meet their material packaging, storage and shipping needs.
Bulk Container Sustainability
Fortunately, many business models are shifting to reusable shipping supplies like Bulk Containers as viable alternatives. Rather than simply creating recyclable products that will end up in landfills regardless of the manufacturer’s intentions, it is a better idea to set up systems that will significantly reduce the amount of waste. Bulk Containers work effectively to this end.
Custom Equipment Company offers an extensive selection of bulk containers ideal for a broad range of material handling applications and support large weight capacities up to and beyond a ton. These industry-leading reusable containers generally allow you to ship, store and handle your products with ease while increasing your operation’s productivity and profitability.
These tough, recyclable plastic and metal bulk containers are designed to give businesses an affordable alternative to ship goods. Instead of buying disposable boxes for shipments and storage, use our durable bulk containers instead. They will last for years even in difficult environments.
Storage and Shipping
Our Heavy-Duty Collapsible Bulk Containers have load capacities up to 2,500 lbs. They collapse flat in seconds. They stack for storage and return shipment. This optimizes space usage and saving money on returned freight. Hand-hold areas on panels provide a comfortable grip for panel movement. In addition to automotive and other packaging applications, these can also contain resins, preforms, food, granular products and other bulk solids.
Industrial container designs are available for the transport and storage of bulk liquid and granulate substances (i.e. Chemicals, food ingredients, solvents, pharmaceuticals, etc.). Fixed Wall Bulk Containers stack with fork pockets. They move using a forklift, pallet jack or other material handling equipment.
Things To Consider
When Looking For Bulk Containers
Bear in mind these basic characteristics
when purchasing bulk containers…
- Compatibility: Will the container need to stack with others that are already in your, or your customer’s plant?
- Stackability: Will you be stacking one full container on top of another? Note the stacking height restrictions.
- Return Ratio: Some containers fold down to a lower height than others, saving space and freight charges on return trips. Example – 3:1 ratio means 3 collapsed units equal the height of 1 erect container.
- Collapsibility: Don’t need to collapse a container? Choose from numerous fixed height models.
- Drop Doors: These are the small fold-down doors on some of the walls. They allow easy, ergonomic access to contents.
- Latch Style: Some containers offer snap-lock style latches to easily open and close drop doors and to easily collapse walls. Heavy-duty models offer post & pocket latches that are less prone to damage.
- Lids: Optional lids protect contents from dust and damage. Stack containers with or without the lids.
- Special Conditions: Always consider testing a container under actual conditions to determine suitability.
