Reusable plastic bulk containers have revolutionized material handling. RPP Containers and Our Team are here to help you and your company!


In almost all cases, reusable, collapsible bulk containers reduce cost, better utilize space, and improve environmental impact compared to expendable packaging. They stack securely, protect what's carried inside, and, when not in use, can be collapsed to a fraction of their height. Additionally, they can be used to move or store raw materials, parts assemblies, industrial parts, and all types of commercial products. These material handling containers are recyclable, made for the circular economy, and have a very low carbon footprint due to their reusability. These collapsible storage bins are engineered using high-grade plastics such as HDPE and high-impact polypropylene.

Here's six of the many benefits and features:

plastic containers

Engineered with high-density polyethylene (HDPE)

 High-impact polypropylene material enables our plastic bulk containers to withstand harsh handling and conditions. Another plus is that it adds extra protection for parts and products within your facility and in transit.

bulk container recycling

100% Recyclable Material

 These reusable HDPE bulk containers can be recycled and made into new containers. Fun fact, some bulk containers are made with recycled HDPE. RPP Containers has a program for our customers to recycle old bulk containers, which keeps them out of landfills. Contact us today if you have unused HDPE bulk containers you would like to recycle.

bulk containers

Designed to be stacked

 Our bulk containers can be stacked up to six high when collapsed. These containers can also be stacked when used, but stack ratings will vary depending on what you put inside the bins and how the weight is distributed. This is a plus to save on warehouse space and maximize out a 53’ truck when shipping.

Collapsible

Bulk containers can collapse and stack when not in use. Meaning you can maximize your warehouse space. 

Custom containers

Customization

 Our bulk containers can be customized for specific applications, parts, and products. We have a wide range of available options. Options include:

  • Drop doors for easy part or product access.
  • Custom labels.
