While they where probably first developed to serve as a plastic equivalent to their glass counterparts their use has grown to include non-hazardous materials aswell. Due to their efficient size and sturdy construction many industries have found these containers are superior to other methods of shipping and storage for both hazardous and non-hazardous materials.
