The Life Cycle of a Bulk Container

The life cycle of a bulk container

Broken and Unwanted Containers

Broken and Unwanted Containers


Eventually, reusable bulk containers will reach the end of their useful life. Old and damaged plastic bulk containers are unproductive waste that can take up valuable space, create a housekeeping problem, and add landfill costs. The best environmental and fiscal solution is to avoid the landfill by recycling them into useful products.

Grind Up Broken Containers


Through our bulk container recycling program, we purchase your unwanted bulk containers, at the best market rates, and grind them up to remanufacture the plastic into new products. With bulk container recycling, you avoid the landfill costs, make money on your old containers, and help the environment .

Bulk Container Recycling


A portion of the plastic regrind is used to make new containers that are sold under our DuraGreen® brand. A new container will start the cycle all over again. It is RPP Containers' commitment to environmental sustainability that drives us to see that the cycle never ends.
