As we’ve detailed in previous pieces, there are many benefits to reusable plastic bulk containers. They can reduce wasted space and shipping costs and increase efficiency and safety. Being durable, they have a long lifetime and free up time devoted to resupplying packaging and allowing you to spend it on more important things. That all being said, sometimes, the cost to switch your entire plant over to reusable plastic containers can be hard to swing. To help ease the burden, RPP Containers has their RefurBest line.

RefurBest containers are previously owned containers that RPP has brought back after they were no longer needed. These could be from rental programs that have been completed or even containers that RPP bought from previous customers. However, they aren’t just your average used containers. 

 To understand the big difference, you must first learn about RPP Containers’ recycling program. Implementing a large-scale grinder, RPP is able to convert old broken containers into regrinds to be recycled back into new containers for our DuraGreen line. This means that only the best of the best containers are considered for our RefurBest line. If a container is brought in that has a cracked base, broken feet, or holes punched in it, the container can simply be converted into regrind for future containers.

Our experienced quality assessment team thoroughly inspects each container that comes in. Bins that don’t meet our standards are sent to the grinder for processing, and the others are divided into good and repairable bins. Repairable bins are containers with great structure but might be missing hinges or latches or even have slight damage that doesn’t threaten their integrity. These are sent to our repair team, who will replace the missing parts and do minor welding to repair the containers. Sometimes we can take great walls from an otherwise scrap container to finish a container with an excellent base but ruined walls. This makes it possible to get multi-color bins to help distinguish certain containers. 

 This process makes RPP Containers’ RefurBest line at the top tier in refurbished containers. When you purchase, you can be certain that you will get a fully-functional container at a reduced cost from a new bin. They may have dings, scrapes, and scratches, but they won’t have broken bases, holes in the walls, and missing latches. We are so confident in our process that each RefurBest container comes with a one-year, fully functional warranty. If any of the hinges break or a wall doesn’t latch properly, let us know, and we can get you replacement parts.
