The Revolutionary Industry Impact Of CageBuster IBC Totes
The tank container industry has steadily grown, evolving from traditional barrels/drums, the first-generation water containment tanks, to superior water storage solutions. Snyder Industries recently launched CageBuster totes, a new generation of IBC totes that employs a "more trips, more value" philosophy.
What Are CageBuster Totes?
CageBuster totes are the latest advancement in IBC water storage solutions from the Snyder Industries product lineup. They were invented to provide a sustainable solution in bulk packaging by filling the gaps of the established caged IBC totes. These modern IBC totes are engineered on four pillars, namely Rethink, Return, Refill, and Reuse, offering a better performing and more rugged IBC design that provides peace of mind in addressing safety and environmental concerns.$

CageBuster IBCs are in place to improve that by offering a cost-effective and durable solution. The table below shows data from an end-user survey, relating to IBC purchase cost and expected useful life (varies depending on the application).
