Formed in 1991, Recontainers Ltd began as a reconditioner of steel and plastic drums before focusing largely on IBCs. In 2019 the business expanded its offering, opening an online store to supply a vast range of industries and customers across the UK with Reconditioned IBC tanks.

Recontainers Ltd is a family run business that specialises in the reconditioning of empty hazardous and non-hazardous IBC containers. Established in 1991, IBCs have been at the heart of our operations for decades, enabling us to offer an industry leading quality of service to customers – big and small. This has helped us to become one of the sectors fastest growing companies.

Our rapid growth is testament to our team’s absolute dedication in serving both our customers with fast, professional and friendly service at competitive rates. We also buy and sell IBC containers, working closely with our suppliers to encourage sustainability, whilst ensuring we provide a high quality service to sell on these products to our customers. Our part in this vast supply chain allows us to contribute to the growing circular economy, one day at a time.
