Give Your Business a Competitive Edge with Drum recycling machinery
Want to boost your bottom line and show your customers you care about the planet? Drum reconditioning offers a powerful solution through a closed-loop, circular supply chain.
The Benefits of a Circular Supply Chain:
- Cost Savings: Eliminate the expense of constantly buying new drums.
- Eco-Friendly Image: Demonstrate your company’s commitment to sustainability, a key factor for today’s consumers.
A Growing Industry Trend:
Many suppliers are now offering drum reconditioning services, simplifying the process for their customers. Empty delivery vans are used to collect used containers, returning them to the supplier’s facility for cleaning and processing using specialized machinery. The drums are then returned in perfect condition, ready for reuse.
Win-Win for Everyone:
This approach not only reduces operational costs for your customers and boosts your competitiveness, but it also lowers your own running costs. Embrace drum reconditioning and join the movement towards a more sustainable and efficient future.
The global economy is reliant on the fast and inexpensive transportation of chemicals and liquids across road, rail and shipping networks. Most industrial processes require chemicals or additives to be delivered on a regular basis, requiring a huge stock of containers across the supply chain.
But what happens to all the spent containers?
Drum recycling is nothing new, back in the days of wooden barrels and ships this was an incredibly skilled job requiring large investments in capital and labour. Thankfully, we have developed and so have the materials we use to transport our products.
Blow moulded, HDPE barrels or drums have become the new norm with millions in circulation across the planet. Cheap to produce, lightweight and durable it is no surprise we do not see wooden barrels on lorries these days. Unfortunately, the cost-effectiveness of HDPE barrels has led to its own issues, namely the 100,000t of plastic scrap produced once these containers have been emptied.
Changes in taxation and policy across the western world have drastically increased the deposal price for companies using process chemicals, driving the necessity for a closed-loop process.
