Bins are used in a wide range of industries as well as in the home to provide a clutter-free and functional way of storing and organising components and household items. These plastic storage bins are commonly used in modern warehouses and manufacturing as parts bins where they are mounted on louvred panels or in racking systems. The use of an effective storage system helps to improve both workflow and efficiency. Plastic storage boxes can also be used in hospitals, workshops, offices, laboratories and garages. What is Polypropylene?. These plastic bins are made from polypropylene which is a type of thermoplastic. Polypropylene is tough, lightweight and has excellent stiffness and impact strength.
