New vs Reconditioned IBCs: Making the Right Choice
When you’re buying IBC containers, you can choose new ones or reconditioned ones. This choice can affect your budget, your sustainability goals, and what you need the container for. Here’s a comparison to help you decide:
| Feature | New IBCs | Reconditioned IBCs |
| Cost | More expensive | Cheaper, saves you money |
| How long they last | Might last the longest | Last a good while, but maybe not as long as newly-made ones |
| Environmental Impact | Higher because of the production cost of new materials | Lower, helps recycle and reuse |
| How quickly you can get them | Might take longer for special types | Often available faster |
| How they look | Brand new, perfect condition | Would show some signs of use but nothing that affects durability |
| Regulatory compliance | Meets all the latest rules | Follows rules, but might need checking more often |
| Making changes | Easier to add special features | Can still be changed, but not as much |
Whether you pick a new IBC because it’ll last longer and you can customise it more, or a reconditioned one because it’s cheaper and better for the environment, all our containers are high quality and regulatory compliant.
IBC Accessories and Complementary Products
To make your IBC containers match your business needs, we have extra parts and products you can add:
