This bulk-liquid shipping vessel is recyclable
The Flexitank (photo) is a multi-layer bladder designed to fit inside a standard, 20-ft ocean container, and can be used for shipping non-hazardous bulk liquids in the chemical and beverage sectors. Users can ship up to 31% more cargo than with intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and drums. The Flexitank holds up to 24,000 L and is recyclable, which enables users to reduce shipping costs, because only one-way freight costs are required, says the company. Further, the recyclability allows users to avoid the cleaning required to avoid cross-contamination. — DHL Global Forwarding,…
