EPT’s IBCs are also collapsible polystyrene and when constructed hold 220 gallons of bulk liquid; both products shipflat to maximize shipping space and ease handling.
“EPT is proud to help. Last year we donated our BIG Red Flexitanks to help in the aftermath of the earthquake,” said Melissa Chambers, Marketing Director of Houston-based EPT. “It’s heartbreaking to know that the Haitian people are still struggling and the cholera epidemic makes the situation unfathomable.”
