About Reconditioned Totes
Reconditioned IBC totes are used containers that have been cleaned and restored for reuse. They include a sanitized HDPE plastic inner bottle, a repaired metal cage, and a base made of steel or plastic.
After being used, these totes go through a cleaning and repair process. This involves sanitizing the inside of the container and fixing or replacing parts of the cage and pallet if needed.
While reconditioned totes are an affordable and eco-friendly option, they are not safe for storing food or drinking water because of the risk of contamination.

- Caustic rinse
- Cold water rinse
(Each rinse typically lasts 60 seconds, longer for dirtier totes)
External & Internal Power Wash
- High-pressure cleaning of both inside and outside surfaces.
Final Interior Rinse
- Additional hose-down inside the tote.
Drying
- Industrial dryer used to fully dry the interior.
Leak Testing
- Totes undergo a pressurized leak test with 99.98% accuracy.
Final Quality Control
- Manual inspection inside tote to remove resin or residue.
- Application of correct UN Labels, caps, and valves.
Storage or Shipment
- Finished totes are either loaded onto trucks or moved to warehouse inventory.
