Plastic Drum Containers for Secure Storage and Transport of Various Substances

At Recontainers Direct, we supply high-quality plastic drum containers designed to meet the demands of modern industry. If you’re looking for durable storage for chemicals, safe options for food-grade liquids, or cost-effective blue plastic drums for non-hazardous products, our range of drums and jerry cans delivers trusted performance.

Our selection includes both new and reconditioned models, all thoroughly tested and verified for compliance. Offering nationwide delivery alongside a strong commitment to sustainability, we provide businesses with reliable solutions that balance safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.

Why Choose a Plastic Drum Container?

A plastic drum is a versatile and durable option for handling liquids, powders, and granules. Businesses across sectors rely on these containers because they offer:

• Strength and durability – they’re resistant to corrosion, and withstand impact and harsh conditions well.
• Strict compliance – we carry the UN-certified options that may be needed for certain hazardous materials.
• Secure closures – A blue barrel with a lid, tap or bung can ensure product integrity without making accessing the contents difficult.
• Cost efficiency – reconditioned drums provide reliable storage at lower costs.
• Sustainability – using reconditioned containers reduces your carbon footprint and supports circular use.

Compared with lighter packaging, plastic drum barrels give long-lasting, reusable protection, making them ideal for demanding industrial use.

Our Plastic Drum Range

At Recontainers Direct, we stock a comprehensive selection of plastic drums designed for different applications. Some of our more popular options include:

Open-Top Drums

Open-top drums have removable lids secured with lock rings, making them ideal for storing solids and materials that require frequent access.

Tight Head Drums

Tight head drums are designed for liquids, featuring non-removable tops with small openings for easy dispensing.

L-Ring Drums

L-ring drums stand out for their stackable design and stability, making them suitable for large-scale industrial use. Common sizes (such as the 220L capacity drum) provide ample capacity for storing chemicals or other materials.

In addition, both new and reconditioned drums can be supplied, as called for by your requirements. So, whether you need a blue plastic drum for food-grade use, a blue barrel with a lid for quick repeat access to (and storage of) small solids, plastic drum containers that can be used as shipping drums to send industrial chemicals overseas (or anything in between), our range provides reliable, compliant solutions tailored to your business needs.

Applications of Plastic Drum Containers

For operations ranging from small businesses to multinational manufacturers, the plastic drum often plays a vital role in supply chains. Common applications include:

• The Food & Beverage Industry – for syrups, edible oils, flavourings, and raw ingredients.
• Pharmaceuticals – for chemicals, active ingredients, and medical liquids.
• Agriculture – for fertilisers, animal feed, pesticides, and crop treatments.
• Chemical Processing – for solvents, coatings, lubricants, and cleaning agents.
• Logistics & Export – for the safe international shipment of goods using compliant shipping drums.

Compliance and Safety

When choosing a plastic drum container, safety and compliance must come first. At Recontainers Direct, we stock:

• UN-certified drums – approved for hazardous materials.
• Non-UN drums – cost-effective solutions for non-hazardous products.
• Reconditioned drums – professionally cleaned, pressure-tested, and quality-assured.

Selecting the correct drum prevents costly compliance failures, protects staff, and ensures safe transport and storage.

Sustainability Benefits

Alongside performance and safety, sustainability is also central to our approach. By offering reconditioned plastic drums, we help businesses lower costs and reduce their environmental footprint. Each reconditioned container is restored to meet stringent standards, offering the same reliability as new models while supporting responsible resource use.

Choosing a plastic drum barrel from Recontainers Direct is not just a sound investment in your operations – it is a step toward a more sustainable future.
