The Complete Life-Cycle
The 7 Steps That Produce 100% Recyclable Steel Drums
From new steel drum manufacturing to the creation of recycled steel, steel drums allow you for a closed-loop life-cycle that greatly minimizes your environmental impact.
1. NEW STEEL DRUMS
Drums are created from recycled steel and can be reconditioned multiple times.
2. FILLING
With its ability to be reused, reconditioned, and recycled, the steel drum is among the safest, most environmentally sound packaging in the world.
3. EMPTYING
After our customers use the various contents of their drums, they're made ready for collection.
4. COLLECTION
Only certified drip-dry empty drums that have the original labels intact and all the closures secure are accepted for reconditioning.
5. RECONDITIONING
Reconditioning steel drums allows them to be reused, conserving natural resources by keeping drums out of landfills.
6. RECYCLING
Empty steel drums that can no longer be reconditioned are sanitized prior to being sent off to be recycled back into steel.
7. RECYCLED STEEL
Infinitely recyclable, the worn-out empty steel drum ends up back in the manufacturing process.
