Buying used and recycled products, with many years’ use ahead, means you’ll not only save on costs, but you’ll also reduce your environmental impact on the planet. This is an important consideration for most consumers today, with 78% saying they prioritise sustainability in their purchasing decisions. According to research published by The Round Up green living site in January 2025, 55% of customers say they will pay more for eco-friendly products and 61% feel sustainability has become more important than it was two years ago.
As well as selling used and recycled plastic storage products, we buy used and second-hand boxes in any quantity if you’re updating your supply chain or upgrading your storage. Simply contact us and we can make you an offer.

These excellent condition used containers are all structurally sound, with some superficial scratches and dust. Manufactured by Bito in Germany, they have integral label slots on all sides. Featuring a wide front opening, they’re ideal for easy filling and emptying, even when stacked, with moulded grips for comfortable and safe handling.
Their heavy-duty design makes them an ideal racking replacement or for use as temporary/seasonal storage. With external dimensions of 560mm long x 360mm wide x 165mm high, they’re a popular choice for order picking and stock storage in warehouses.
Used 800-litre folding plastic pallet box
Lightly used folding pallet boxes of this quality are rarely available, making these a highly sought after model from our Special Offers section. Manufactured to an extra tough design, from robust plastic, they’re in good condition, with all the doors and hinges intact and working. They have no damage and there are no labels on the boxes.
Our used 800-litre folding plastic pallet box comes complete with two drop down access doors on the long sides and a choice of three skids, or skids around the entire edge. Drop-on lids are available and there are drainage holes in the base. Offering heavy-duty protection and a huge 800-litre volume, with internal dimensions of 1,121mm long x 921mm wide x 775mm high, they are ideal for any bulk handling and distribution use. This includes warehousing, transport and bulk storage on racking. The boxes can be stacked full or empty, with up to 500kg load capacity per box.
They cost £135.95 each excluding VAT (£163.14 including VAT) and are also on special offer for bulk purchasing. Buy six or more boxes for £127.45 each excluding VAT (£152.94 including tax) to make a saving of 7%.
123-litre industrial stack and nest plastic containers
These UK-manufactured extra-large 123-litre stack and nest containers are designed for the transportation of large volumes of goods with maximum return on efficiency, thanks to their 81mm nesting pitch. Their 180º stack and nest design displays ‘plus’ and ‘minus’ symbols to easily identify which end stacks and which nests. Handles on both the collar and base enable easy stacking and lifting, offering 289mm of usable height when stacked.
Their impact-resistant design features rounded corners and slight flex, preventing damage when used on conveyor systems. Vents on the base permit air to escape during stacking and they can be pulled apart easily. Manufactured from high-impact polypropylene, they offer high temperature resistance, even in extremes of cold and heat from -20ºC to +40°C. With multiple drainage holes in the collar, water can drain when stored outdoors in an upturned stack and during washing.
The internal dimensions measure 640mm long x 600mm wide x 348mm high and each container weighs 4kg, making them ideal for bulk storage, warehousing, large item distribution, storing stock and archiving. They are also a cost-effective choice, retailing at £17.95 each excluding VAT (£21.54 including tax).
