SpaceKraft takes the hassle out of materials handling and disposal compared to other bulk packaging options.
• There is no need to store used empty containers.
• There is no labor and no added expense required to administer a return program for empty drums and bottle-in-cage units.
• There is no need to use harsh chemicals or clean and rinse a SpaceKraft container.
• There are no ‘heel charges.’
There are downstream benefits to you and your customers.
• The outer sleeve is made of a renewable source and is recyclable.
• The inner liner is recyclable or disposable.
• The pallet is reusable.
Unlike traditional drums and other types of returnable and rigid intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), the SpaceKraft system offers you and your customers a recyclable container. In addition, the sleeve, liner and pallet components are accepted as municipal waste and acceptable as waste to energy feedstock.
