Stainless steel Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) are the right option for manfacturers looking to "green" their processes.

From the outset, an Intermediate Bulk Container is a better sustainable choice than a drum because one 350-gallon IBC has more capacity than six 55-gallon drums, meaning fewer resources are used to transport the same volume of liquid.

Even better, reusable packaging, like using stainless steel tote tanks, makes a positive impact on the environment by reducing labor, shipping and waste disposal costs.

Stainless steel tote tanks are an environmentally correct response because:

Generate less waste - returnable IBCs eliminate the disposal of pallets and drums
Completely drainable - creating virtually no product waste
More efficient - the fewer the overall required containers, the lower the freight cost and fuel consumption
Save energy - IBCs fill faster than drums, reducing overall operating costs 

Recyclable IBCs can be fully recovered and reprocessed into other useful products at the of their service life.

An intermediate bulk container not only benefits the environment, but it also can help your company's bottom line by reducing:

• Labor costs
• Overall packaging costs
• General operating expenses, since renting IBCs can be less expensive than purchasing
• Product loss
