EPT – The BIG Red Difference

Environmental Packaging Technologies, Ltd. (EPT) provides innovative packaging solutions for the transportation and storage of bulk products. We manufacture unique bulk packaging for liquids, granular solids and many other flowable products. Our solutions provide a significant reduction in shipping costs, increase efficiency and minimize negative environmental impact.

Why select EPT?

The answer is simple – use the best, save money, space, time, and help save the planet.

Engineering Excellence - EPT has committed considerable resources to R&D and has partnered with leading global engineering firms based in the U.S.A. Our BIG Red Flexitank and Bulkhead system provides our customers the most state-of-the-art bulk liquid packaging available in the industry.

Quality Control - All BIG Red products are manufactured in ISO 9001:2000 facilities to strict quality standards.

Lowers costs – EPT’s BIG Red family of products cost and weigh less than similar shipping containers, while handling more volume in less space, making them cost-efficient. Use our trip leasing program and eliminate all capital expenses for packaging.

Substantial space savings– A BIG Red Flexitank holds up to 24,000 liters of any flowable substance, is used once and recycled, requiring neither storage nor disposal. When empty, it packs down tight which means it takes up less temporary storage space. BIG Red IBCs carry 813 liters/one ton of liquid – as much as six drums in 20% less space. Once emptied, they collapse and five BIG Red IBCs can return in the space of one and then they are recycled for reuse.

Save time and energy– EPT’s products install quickly and easily. Minimal training is required to deploy, fill and transport the EPT BIG Red Flexitanks or IBCs.

Environmentally-friendly packaging– EPT’s products are reclaimable and recyclable. More than just cost efficient, BIG Red Flexitanks and IBCs are environmentally safe.
