Manufacturers and distributors are constantly searching for better ways of getting their product onto the market, both nationally and internationally. Their products need containers that not only deliver safely and efficiently, but ones that, when empty, are returned cost-effectively.
Up until now, the only means of ensuring that empty containers are returned has been a costly exercise, with suppliers having to buy or lease containers with very high loss rates within the supply chain.
The loss rate of getting empty containers back to the supplier is very high.
Returning empty drums, isotaimers or intermediate bulk containers (IBC) has proven to be very expensive because you are shipping air after incurring the cost to clean the containers.
The problem is solved with the new award winning PFT 500 industrial container.
PFT 500 are approximately four times lower cost to store and transport than traditional IBCs and 2.5 times lower costs to store and transport than 44 gallon drums. Additionally, traditional storage vessels cost up to $100 to safely recycle, compared to a negligible cost for the PFT 500
PFT 500 Fill-and-Return Scheme
You simply send out your product in a filled PFT 500 and it is returned as a flat unit significantly reducing the cost of return freight.
