DrumCycle™
A structured, compliant and cost-effective way to manage used industrial packaging — without the operational and regulatory burden.
WHY DRUMCYCLE™
Used industrial packaging is a liability. We turn it into a managed outcome.
DrumCycle™ was developed to provide a structured, compliant and cost-effective solution for managing used industrial packaging — removing the operational and regulatory burden from customers while supporting circular-economy outcomes.
WHAT DRUMCYCLE™ ADDRESSES
Five pressures on every industrial site — solved.
Compliance risk
NEMA, EPR, transport regulations
Fragmented rules across national and municipal levels create audit exposure.
Operational inefficiency
Handling, storage, logistics
Empty drums eat yard space, tie up staff and complicate safe transport planning.
Cost pressure
Disposal cost vs recovery value
Paying to dispose of packaging that still carries market value as a reusable asset.
Sustainability expectations
ESG, circular economy
Investor and customer pressure to show measurable circular-economy outcomes.
Lack of traceability
Reporting and audits
Collection records that aren’t ready when a regulator, auditor or EPR scheme asks.
THE PROGRAMME
What DrumCycle™ covers
A single programme covering every type of used industrial packaging on your site — collected, inspected and directed to its most responsible recovery outcome.
All container sizes
From 25 L containers and jerrycans, through 100 L hobbs and 210 L drums, to 1 000 L IBCs — in both plastic and steel.
Compliant transport
Licensed waste management and transport permits, SANS 10406 prepared handling, and documented chain-of-custody from your gate to processing.
Reuse, recycling or licensed disposal
Each container is triaged: suitable for reconditioning, directed to approved recycling, or processed through licensed disposal where reuse isn’t possible.
HOW IT WORKS
Five simple steps, one accountable partner.
Collect
We schedule and collect used industrial packaging directly from your site, using licensed transport and SANS 10406 protocols.
Inspect
Each container is inspected against safety, contamination and structural criteria to determine the right recovery path.
Recover
Suitable containers are cleaned, pressure-tested and reconditioned in line with our ISO-certified quality systems.
Reuse / Recycle / Dispose
Containers are returned to market as reconditioned packaging, recycled through approved facilities, or disposed of at licensed sites.
Report
You receive collection and recovery records to support EPR reporting, ESG disclosures and regulatory audits.
