We know relying on the availability and cost-effectiveness of traditional 55-gallon steel drums can drive waste haulers or packaging and logistics companies completely bananas — but what’s worse than these headaches is the significant amount of carbon emissions and energy usage that’s associated with transporting traditional steel drums.  

DID YOU KNOW…

Depending on how many drums you’re transporting and the number of FTLs (full truck loads) you need to meet demand, it’s easy to see how quickly your individual environmental impact adds up. With Gorilla Drum™, you can fit more drums on a standard pallet and 53-foot semi-truck to significantly cut your carbon footprint — and optimize your transportation logistics and costs.
