IBC Pooling

The pooling of reusable packaging, crates and pallets is an important component of today’s supply chain efficiency and sustainability efforts. But what is it?

About Pooling

Pooling describes a process in which entities can share a single resource. Here the resource is returnable packaging, specifically BiB IBC products, and the entities are geographically disparate users of those products. The process enables different parts of the supply chain in different industries to draw on this common resource, the pool, providing them with the resources they require, when they need them. Once they have cycled through that particular supply chain they are drawn back into the pool where they are cleaned and maintained for the next use. The individual users within that cycle each only pay for the amount of resources they have consumed.

Arlington is a pooling provider and delivers the correct type and amount of resources to users in the right place, at the right time, in properly serviceable condition. We are also responsible for recovery of the resource at the end of the cycle, cleaning and maintaining the pool, and managing the level of assets.

In addition, we can manage all administration and provide tracking and flow analysis to help our customers spot issues and bottlenecks within their supply chain.

Testimonials

“We were having major issues with high residual waste product left in the pallecon liner bag after discharge. Our supplier at the time was not able to solve these issues, so we reached out to Arlington, who immediately provided a solution and have reduced our residues from an average of 20kg of product per liner bag down to 1.5kg.”
Joanne - European Toothpaste Manufacturer.

Testimonials

“We have worked with Arlington for many years and have always found them competitive and fair to deal with. In particular, we have worked with them to develop new processes as we have expanded our product ranges. I certainly have no plans to change away from this successful partnership in the near future - why would I?”
Sarah - Fruit Products Processing.

Testimonials

“As a business, we were caught in a cycle of paying for large repair and compensation costs through our contract renewals. Arlington helped us break that cycle but also helped us address the cause of our excessive damages and losses. We have a multi-site international supply chain. Running our IBC fleet through Arlington has been more productive and less costly than with our previous suppliers.”
Mark - Healthcare manufacturer.
