Bulk Container Recycling
Partnering with RPP
Plastic bulk containers are essential for many industries, including manufacturing, distribution, and agriculture. But what happens when these containers reach the end of their useful life? The answer lies in plastic bulk container recycling. With our extensive expertise in this field, we can provide you with the best solutions for your needs.
Bulk Container Buy-Back
We are looking to partner with both new and existing customers in the recycling of obsolete HDPE bulk containers. If you're interested in refreshing your fleet of bulk containers in an economical and sustainable way, we offer to buy back your old containers. This can be credited towards your next purchase or exchanged for an agreed-upon cash value.
Rest assured, your old containers will be either refurbished or recycled, ensuring that zero plastic waste is generated. Before we can approve your load for inspection, we require photos of the bulk containers you wish to send us. You can easily upload these photos through our contact form.
Looking for a new solution for transport packaging?
Let us design custom packaging to meet your specific needs, or an entirely new product from scratch, then sell us your existing fleet of containers for credit towards your purchase and a sustainable solution for disposal.

The life cycle of a bulk container

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.
