Recontainers Ltd: We buy, sell and clean IBCs

Recontainers Ltd specialises in the buying, selling and cleaning of empty hazardous and non-hazardous chemical conditions.

 

Established in 1991, the family-run business exhibited at CHEMUK 2024 for the first time to meet prospective new customers.

Located in the Chemical Supply Chain Show Zone, the Lancashire-based company showcased its products and services to visitors from the logistics & transportation, packaging & labelling and storage & containers sectors.

Recontainers Ltd buy and sell reconditioned IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers) in different specifications (grade, pallet, base and UN-certified and non-UN certified) and offers an IBC reconditioning (wash and return) service.

Health & Safety is a paramount concern for businesses needing to store and safely transport larger amounts of chemicals across the UK. IBC tanks have been a product of choice for many years due to the following benefits:

  • Robust properties – IBCs are made of durable, galvanised outer steel frames built to protect the inner polyethylene section.
  • Space saving – IBCs are stackable due to its cubic shape
  • Screw-cap lids – Allowing for easy filling, with a bottom outlet valve for emptying/decanting.
  • Easy transportation – IBCs can be lifted onto pallets using a FLT or pallet jack for seamless transportation (also quicker to load/off load than chemical drums)
  • Waste efficiency – 1,000Lt of chemicals can be stored in larger IBC tanks, which is advantageous with regards to removing waste when discharging and draining the containers.
  • Sustainable best practice – IBCs are fully-recyclable containers, demonstrating excellent circular economy practice.
  • Cross-sector usage – IBCs can be used to store and transport a wide range of liquids, pastes or solids. In farming and agriculture, they can be used for water irrigation/collecting rain, fertiliser storage, with reconditioned ones ideal for storage solutions. On construction sites, they can store water for bulk cement mixing or dust suppression.
  • Multi-purpose – IBCs can be used to store both UN chemicals (suitable for hazardous/corrosive chemicals) or non-UN (non-hazardous chemicals)

Recontainers Ltd has an online shop facility for trade customers, with bulk orders possible by request. Three of the best-sellers include the following:

  • Grade 1 Clear reconditioned 1,000L IBC on metal/plastic pallet (non-UN)
  • IBC cover weatherproof & UV protection 1,000L
  • Grade 2 Clear reconditioned 1,000L IBC on metal/plastic pallet (non-UN)

There is a large choice of IBC containers on offer, from grading (1 or 2), UN-approved or non-UN approved, to metal, plastic or wood pallet base. For customers unsure which container is best suited for their needs, Recontainers Ltd can offer full advice via email or telephone.
