Who Uses IBC Containers?
IBCs are valued for their durability, reusability, and capacity to safely store and transport various liquid and granulated products. The types of businesses that typically use IBC include:
- Oil and Gas Industry: Businesses in the oil and gas sector use IBCs for the storage and transportation of lubricants, oils, and fuels, benefiting from the durability and protective qualities of these containers.
- Chemical Industry: Manufacturers and distributors of industrial chemicals, solvents, and detergents commonly use IBCs to handle large quantities of products safely.
- Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics: Pharmaceutical companies use IBCs to store and transport raw materials and finished products, ensuring contamination-free conditions.
- Food and Beverage Industry: Producers of liquid food items such as oils, syrups, concentrates, and flavourings find IBCs ideal for their needs due to the hygienic and airtight conditions they offer.
What Are IBC Containers Made Of?
IBCs are often made of HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), aluminium or iron, and a protective layer of zinc covering either iron or steel.
At Plastic Expert, we have vast experience recycling HDPE products. High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a versatile plastic with a high strength-to-density ratio. The recycling process involves collecting, cleaning, and reprocessing the HDPE plastic into pellets, which can then be moulded into new items. Some common products that HDPE can be recycled into include pipes and conduits, containers and garden furniture.
Our intermediate bulk containers (IBC) disposal service will provide you with a professional waste management team that has vast experience in both HDPE and hazardous waste removal. With the help of Plastic Expert, you can have waste containers cleared away quickly, whilst ensuring health and safety procedures are followed.
