Folding bulk containers, industrial totes, and metal storage bins are used over and over again within a facility or between a supplier and a customer. They can be used literally thousands of times. These bulk boxes are much cheaper in the long term when compared to buying cardboard boxes and wood crates every time that product is shipped. Savings can be observed in the per piece packaging cost.

“The quality effect of using metal bins drives fewer rejects from damaged packaging and since plastic and metal containers can stack very high, the amount, utilization, and safety of floor space is immediately enhanced,” asserts David Madden, president of Container Exchanger.

is General Manager of Whitehead Die Casting Co., Inc. located in Gainesville, Georgia. Cain recently interviewed said, “We wanted to find good usable containers from a reputable source without too much risk. We found the Container Exchanger listing on internet and the web page was very helpful in finding what we needed.” Sixty percent of the total packaging is now reused and the same percentage comes from Container Exchanger. Cain noted, “We have been very pleased with the professionalism and level of service from everyone we have worked with at Container Exchanger.” Returnable packaging reduces waste created by every business. The EarthWorks Group estimates that 30% of landfill waste is created by plastic and paper packaging. The use of cardboard products and other one-time-use packaging products contribute to this waste. Folding bulk containers, industrial totes, and metal storage bins are used over and over again within a facility or between a supplier and a customer. They can be used literally thousands of times. These bulk boxes are much cheaper in the long term when compared to buying cardboard boxes and wood crates every time that product is shipped. Savings can be observed in the per piece packaging cost. While the upfront investment in returnable packaging may cost more, savings can be realized quickly through repeated use (the same bulk containers, metal bins, and totes are used over and over), labor (no more box assembly), material handling (fewer moves from stackable containers), quality (fewer rejects due to damaged packaging), and floor space (plastic and metal containers can stack very high). The per piece packaging costs for used bulk containers and totes can be as low as 5% of the costs for a comparable expendable solution, depending on shipping volumes. Container Exchanger (www.containerexchanger.com) is dedicated to the sale and resale of reusable packaging and containers. The firm resells folding bulk containers, metal storage bins, plastic industrial totes, plastic pallets, and used gaylord boxes nationwide. When a company is finished using a returnable packaging fleet, Container Exchanger represents the seller and finds a buyer for the used bulk packaging. Sellers enjoy a high sales price for a better return on investment. Buyers save significantly in comparison to new packaging prices.

Returnable packaging reduces waste created by every business, including material handling. According to David Madden, President of Container Exchanger recently reported that, “Returnable packaging improves material handling by reducing the number of moves from stackable containers. This type of lean manufacturing and distribution metric is quantifiable and makes this environmentally sound decision a good business choice as well.”

While the upfront investment in returnable packaging is higher, savings can be realized quickly through repeated use, less labor (no more box assembly), reduced material handling (fewer moves from stackable containers), higher quality (fewer rejects due to damaged packaging), and optimal use of floor space (plastic and metal containers can stack very high). The per piece packaging costs for used bulk containers and totes can be as low as 5 per cent of the costs for a comparable expendable solution, depending on shipping volumes. Increasingly companies will convert their entire operations to returnable containers as part of their lean manufacturing methods. Improving packaging, transportation and line-side presentation of containers are becoming the specific goals of the returnable packaging methodology. Such a program will axiomatically benefit the environment by virtually eliminating waste from expendable packaging, even while improving the bottom-line.
