For food processing & food-related industries –

For food processing industries bins should be labeled as food-grade and should be marked with HACCP, as this marking states the authenticity & ability of food-grade containers & bins.

Since not all containers are food gradable, the bins which are unsuitable for long term contact with food like food -chemicals can start to leak out. In addition to this, single-use containers or receptacles such as take away containers & ice- cream crates are unsuitable for industrial long term food storage as they cannot withstand repeated heating & freezing.

Resistance to environmental stress & cracking –
