Reduce your carbon footprint with plastic bulk containers

RPP Containers and our sister company Bulk Container Express take great pride in our environmental sustainability and expansive recycling programs. The plastic collapsible bulk containers that we sell, modify, refurbish, and recycle can be used in a wide variety of industries to help reduce your company’s carbon footprint and help ensure environmental responsibility.

New Bulk Containers

We have carefully curated our line of bulk containers to offer the highest quality bulk containers available at an exceptional value. Instead of getting a single use or maybe a handful of uses out of expendable packaging like wooden pallets or cardboard boxes, our plastic bulk containers can last upwards of 5-10 years when taken care of and used within spec. Studies have shown that switching over to reusable plastic bulk containers can reduce your company’s carbon footprint by over 30%.  

Cleaning and repairing containers

Clean and Repair

If your bulk containers happen to get damaged during use or shipping, we can often repair the bins with simple plastic welding to return the bin’s functionality. RPP Containers sells thousands of refurbished and repaired bulk containers annually that may have otherwise ended up in the landfill. We do not bother selling “B or C” grade refurbished bins. We only sell grade A bins that are all inspected in-house. If an unsatisfactory bin somehow slips through the cracks, we promise to make it right and back that promise with a one-year warranty for fit, form, and function, so you know you are getting a quality product. 

Shredded plastic

Bulk Container Recycling

In the event that a container gets damaged beyond repair or to a point that would negatively affect safe handling our bins are 100% recyclable. Beyond just selling recyclable containers, we also have one of the largest plastic grinders in the USA and perform tear-down and recycling in house. RPP Containers grinds upwards of 3,000,000 pounds of high-density polyethylene plastic per year in our Cincinnati, Ohio facility. This recycled plastic is then used to mold new lids as well as new collapsible bulk containers. Our recycling efforts have also helped save over 1.5 million cubic feet of landfill space since 2018.

Whether you are looking for new bins with our DuraGreen line of containers, refurbished and repaired bins with our RefurBest line of containers, or if you are just sending us your broken collapsible bulk containers for recycling, you can be confident that you are doing your part in protecting the environment and reducing your company’s carbon footprint.

Do you have questions?

 If you have any questions about our RefurBest containers, our recycling program, or any of our new DuraGreen plastic collapsible bulk containers please do not hesitate to reach out to our friendly and knowledgeable sales staff. We can be reached from 8AM to 5PM EST via phone 513-489-2244 or via chat. If you have any after-hours questions, you can submit them via our contact-us form and someone will get back with you right away the next business day.
