Sanitary Benefits of Plastic Containers

Sanitary Benefits of Plastic Containers

Some of the most significant benefits of collapsible containers involve hygienic concerns. When you're thinking about how to maximize storage space and also need clean ways to store products, plastic collapsible containers offer numerous advantages over other products.

1. Efficient Cleaning and Sanitizing

Plastic collapsible containers are remarkably easy to clean and sanitize. Their slick, smooth surfaces won't harbor much dirt, so cleaning is a worker-friendly process that employees can accomplish quickly, even on hectic days.

Facilities should have clear protocols for how to clean plastic containers — and fortunately, the process is simple. Employees can power-wash containers with soap and water and then spray or wipe them down with an approved disinfectant. To ensure its effectiveness, be sure to leave the disinfectant on the surfaces for the amount of time recommended by the manufacturer.

2. Superior Resistance to Viruses and Bacteria

Some materials — notably wood — harbor more microorganisms than others. Wood tends to absorb moisture, creating a hospitable environment for bacterial and viral growth. Germs can also cling to the cracks and pores in wooden surfaces even after cleaning. But the smooth plastic surfaces of collapsible containers harbor few microorganisms and help maintain a healthy environment.

3. Minimized Disease Transmission and Cross-Contamination

Because they present unfavorable environments for microorganisms and are designed for cleaning and disinfecting, plastic collapsible containers help minimize disease transmission and cross-contamination. Containers used for one type of product — meat, for instance — can receive cleaning before use with another kind of product.

Statistical modeling and social mixing surveys suggest that, on average, 20% to 25% of weekly human contact takes place in the workplace. Substantial disease transmission — the transmission of 16% of influenza cases, for example — also occurs in the workplace. But sanitizable containers are unlikely to harbor germs and contribute to the spread of illness.

4. Hygienic and Efficient Operations

Using sanitizable, collapsible containers is a vital step in developing health-conscious and efficient operations. Busy facility managers may worry that taking extra steps to maintain a clean, healthy environment in warehouses and cold-storage facilities could make employees less productive. But using and cleaning plastic collapsible containers is efficient and helps maintain workplace productivity while improving hygienic practices.

5. Employee and Customer Health Protection for a Range of Industries

Sanitizable, collapsible containers are particularly useful in food-processing and food-service industries — and they offer benefits across a range of other operations, as well. Businesses like construction companies, manufacturing facilities, automotive shops and logistics management services all have vested interests in moving goods quickly and efficiently, maximizing storage space and keeping their staff members and customers healthy. Plastic collapsible containers help accomplish those goals.
