How can your supply chain be improved with the Hybridbin?

A packaging solution like the Hybridbin provides an edge over competitors as it moves the fruit supply chain into the 21st century.

Cost savings are the obvious benefit, by purchasing the Hybridbin removes the continuous purchase of cardboard and wood. Other benefits include savings on storage costs, increased capacity, freshness of products as a result of the improved ventilation, bruise buffer to reduce damages and reduction in transport costs.

The Hybridbin brings together plastic and wood in an effective product that aims to transform the supply chain for fruit producers. The wood provides a structural frame adding support and the plastic is made from FDA-approved materials and has smooth surfaces and rounded corners helping to reduce damage to the products.

The Hybridbin also significantly reduces shipping costs both the frame and bins can be effectively stored on return. The plastic bins can be nested and the frames can be collapsed and shipped separately. This is in comparison to containers already on the market that are stacked as opposed to sitting inside each other.

The storage benefits are also in relation to storing the bins when they are not being used. As they can be nested it saves on the space as you are able to have more in a stack. The Hybridbin is also safer than other containers as the stacks are more rigid and the risk of them toppling over is considerably lower.

It is known within the industry that wood is a cheaper alternative but has its downfalls; this is the reason why Marco Plastics have merged together plastic and wood. This provides our customers with the best of both worlds. This is a cost-effective packaging solution that delivers quality products.

The Hybridbin is the most economical agriculture plastic bulk bin on the market ensuring efficiency improvements and high food safety standards. 


The Hybridbin will be launched at the Fruit Logistica exhibition in Berlin from the 5th – 7th February in the US Pavilion, Hall 23, Stand A03.
