What Is a Plastic Returnable Container?

Plastic returnable containers are designed to handle material at all stages in your supply chain, from WIP (work-in-progress) to finished product to their final destination. Although they are optimal in a closed loop system, they can work superbly in an open-loop system, with reverse logistics in place.


Durable enough to handle the rigors of shipping and warehouse wear and tear, you can be assured you will get a long lifetime out of them. Far exceeding cardboard boxes or wooden crates. Removing packaging failure improves safety along your supply chain. By eliminating bin failure, you prevent slowdowns along your supply chain, saving time and money.

Benefits of Plastic Returnable Containers

RPP Containers offers a variety of plastic reusable totes that have been specifically designed to stack and fit nicely in all freight trucks and sea containers. This helps to protect your product along the road, through the air, or on a ship while maximizing the amount of space you can devote to your materials. The same packaging stacks efficiently to help maximize warehouse space.


Being reusable, you can reduce the amount of packaging waste associated with cardboard and wood. Wood can splinter and shatter, leaving dangerous pieces lying about that must be cleaned up to avoid injury. Cardboard can rip and tear, leaving slipping and fire hazards around.


Though an upfront investment, you greatly reduce the annual cost of repurchasing packaging. RPP Containers’ bins are designed to last for many years, freeing up the time and money used to replenish boxes for more important things.


Not only will plastic reusable bins help keep your plant free of packaging debris and safe, they are rugged enough to protect your product and materials from harm. Accidents happen and a forklift driver might bump into merchandise, but these thick, bulk bins help to reduce the amount of damage to your stock and superior stacking capabilities can help prevent personal harm due to these events.


By eliminating the need for multiple layers of paper, plastic bags, or other packaging material, you can reduce the amount of steps in the packaging process. This also helps with receiving and inspection. This frees up time spent on these things, saving you money and increasing productivity.

If you are looking to maximize shipping efficiency, plastic totes can help to facilitate that. These returnable bulk bins can help if you find yourself with a lot of packaging waste from cardboard you are looking to eliminate. They are also a great option if you will need packaging for long term projects and staple products that will be stocked or shipped around.
