Sometimes the
bottle must be new.
For many uses a reconditioned tote does the job, but some buyers need a new one. Partner suppliers in our network, including distributors, can quote new totes; availability depends on the supplier.

Reasons buyers choose a new tote.
Outside those cases, a reconditioned tote often does the same job, and reusing a tote avoids manufacturing a new one. Tell partner suppliers what’s going inside and they can suggest options.

Common questions.
Can I request new and reconditioned totes together?
Yes. List both in your quote request, with the size, grade and quantity for each.
Are new totes more reliable than reconditioned ones?
A new tote has fresh gaskets and valves and no prior contents. A properly reconditioned tote is cleaned, inspected and leak-tested before resale. Which suits you depends on your contents and requirements.
Can I get new stainless totes?
Some partner suppliers may be able to quote them. Stainless is usually more expensive than HDPE; describe your needs in the request.
Why not buy direct from a manufacturer?
You can. A quote request here simply puts your needs in front of partner suppliers, including distributors, without you having to contact each one.
