Flexitanks For Edible Oils Transport

The obvious choice is a tank which provides this protection and is significantly less expensive than the more commonly used ISO tanks and Flexitanks offer lower transport costs than both the IBC and drums.

Liquids today are generally transported in high-density polyethylene IBCs, steel drums, flexible plastic drums or ISO tanks. In these cases, storage space is a big consideration of which using a flexitank alternative presents an space saving advantage.

Flexitanks offer a number of distinct advantages as a method of transporting bulk liquids such as:

1. Cost Effective Edible Oil Transport

Flexitank containers offer an incredible alternative to other bulk liquid shipping containers for the transportation of edible oils. With greater puncture resistance, along with longer stored life than other product packaging alternatives Flexitanks are the clear solution for edible oil transportation. Additionally, Flexitanks offer a cost-effective and reliable alternative. Because the shipments can be smaller and not tied to a particular vessel or shipping line, you can lower your financial risks.

3. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with Flexitanks

Offset your carbon footprint when you use flexitanks to ship. Not only are flexitanks more economically viable for companies, they are a more sustainable option for bulk shipping. Our re-usable flexitank containers allow for zero waste in shipping – SIA Flexitanks can be re-used and recycled. The SIA Global Flexi-Max, for example, is made from 100% virgin VLDPE polyethylene which when recycled, is re-processed into pellets which are then used to manufacture new items.

Using flexitanks when shipping edible oils is one of the quickest and easiest ways to reduce the carbon footprint of the transport process allowing higher volumes of liquid to be shipped at one time.

SIA Flexitanks are driven by a global commitment to sustainable logistics and fair trade.  Our commitment includes bringing logistics technologies to manufacturers and producers that provide them with access to the new markets and more trading opportunities while using fewer resources.
