Answer first
Never assume a used IBC tote is safe based on appearance. Prior contents, labels, documentation, residue, container condition, and intended reuse matter.
Preserve identification
Keep product labels, UN markings, and available safety documentation with the tote. Unknown history is a material fact.
Do not promise food-grade reuse
A tote's prior use and cleaning history must support its intended application. Potable, food, feed, or garden use should never be inferred.
Disclose residue
Report remaining liquids, odor, staining, pressure, damaged valves, and missing caps before anyone handles or transports the container.
