Fibre Drum Recycling

Fibre Drums are manufactured using natural Fibreboard - a sustainable resource that is grown through managed schemes.

Fibreboard drums are available in a variety of designs - some made of 100% fibreboard and others with the use of metal rims and plastic clip-on lids.

The IPA reconditioning membership includes a number of professional waste management companies who will provide a collection, sorting and segregation service to ensure the recovery and recycling of the fibreboard, metal and plastic components.

There are a number of companies who manufacture specialist equipment for the seperation of the metal rims from fibreboard drums - these range from small units suitable for manual operation to the higher throughput designs for larger volumes.

Fibre Drum information is available directly through the IPA offices or from the members involved in fibre drum manufacture (Fibrestar and FDL) - contact details available via the link to "Member Products and Services" on the IPA website Homepage.

Further specialist information is also provided on The European Fibre Drum Association (SEFFI) website via the following link:
