The Hoover CS Advantage
Our approach is simple: we work to deliver the Reusable Packaging Trifecta of cost efficiency, operational & safety improvements, and sustainability impact. Through our large rental fleet of IBCs, ISO Tanks, and Catalyst Bins – combined with fleet management and tank maintenance services – your business benefits from access to high-quality tanks and containers, improved performance, and an optimized environmental footprint.
Mission Statement
Empowering environmental responsibility through sustainable packaging solutions.
Our Vision
Making sustainable packaging the standard in the industries we serve.
Our Circular Solutions
We serve customers from start, through delivery, and for the future by enabling them to safely and sustainably package their product or raw material in reusable containers. With fully-managed services and tank reconditioning, we reduce the logistics complexity and make the transition to a circular solution easier, all of which results in a net positive for the environment.
RAW MATERIALS
- Steel creates stronger, safer containers that reduce the chance of spills
- Hoover CS’s reusable liquid IBCs have 40–90% less global warming impact than comparable one-way containers based on our LCA assumptions
DESIGN &
MANUFACTURING
- The design of our IBCs minimizes residue left in the container to reduce product waste and minimize chemical disposal
- Our IBCs do not require wooden pallets for transportation, eliminating another waste stream
DISTRIBUTION
- Our transport-friendly container designs save space and reduce trips
- Optimized distribution decreases fuel emissions and labor hours for packing
USE
- Although useful life is dependent on many variables, including products transported, IBC design, UV exposure, and handling wear and tear, Hoover CS has tanks that have been in the field for over thirty years
CLEANING &
REFURBISHING
- Our washing, reconditioning, and recertifying services enhance safety, protect against unwanted releases, and facilitate longer product lifespans
- Through innovative water reclamation and reuse practices, we can recycle about 95% of the water used in the cleaning process
