PackOne, a joint venture between logistics and industrial packaging reconditioning experts Werit and Blagden Packaging, offers uncomplicated pick-ups and is claimed to yield considerable customer benefits.

On being commissioned by a customer via PackOne-Ticket, Blagden picks up the IBCs from the respective customer on behalf of Werit.

By completing and signing the Pack¬One-Ticket the customer enters into a contractual relationship that requires the latter to comply with specific return standards. IBCs must, for instance, be emptied so that only an absolute minimum of residues remains. The original labels must still be on the IBCs.

Customers gain an added benefit as a result of the PackOne-System, which can only be offered by a disposal expert such as Blagden, which is authorised to transport and recondition all contaminated IBCs. In addition to offering expert return services for Werit IBCs, Blagden also collects IBCs from other manufacturers and, if requested, even steel and PE barrels as well as small packaging material.

After the IBCs have been returned, used and new components are combined in innovative ways. While grid frames and pallets can usually be reused, the interior container is replaced. For this purpose, Werit has developed a PackOne-insertion container (Unibottle) which fits into all grid frames regardless of manufacturer.

This new universal Unibottle meets all relevant safety standards and is of course also available with UN certification for dangerous goods transportation. On the one hand, it is a flexible and brand-independent return system; on the other hand it is also a highly attractive packaging solution in the median price segment. The recycling of individual components also saves valuable resources while meeting all applicable safety and environmental protection standards.
