Used IBC Totes

Used IBC totes offer the same core functionality as new containers at a dramatically lower price point. A standard 275-gallon IBC tote that costs $300 or more new can be purchased used for under $100 in good condition. For businesses that go through dozens or hundreds of totes, the savings add up fast — we are talking thousands of dollars per quarter for mid-size operations.

Beyond cost savings, buying used is one of the most impactful environmental choices a business can make. Every used tote purchased is one fewer new container manufactured — saving the energy, raw materials, and carbon emissions associated with producing HDPE plastic and galvanized steel from scratch. Manufacturing a single new IBC tote generates approximately 18 kg of CO2. Multiply that by 100 totes and you have prevented nearly 2 metric tons of carbon emissions just by choosing used.

All of our used IBC totes are thoroughly inspected before sale. We check the bottle for cracks, warping, and UV degradation. We test the cage for structural integrity — every bar, every weld. We verify valve operation and check for proper sealing. We inspect the pallet base for rot, cracks, and load-bearing capacity. Every tote receives a grade (A, B, or C) so you know exactly what you are getting.

We also track the history of every container we sell. We know what was previously stored in it, how many times it has been used, and what condition it was in when we received it. This traceability is critical for buyers who need food-grade containers or who must document their supply chain for compliance purposes.
