The transportation of hazardous substances involves significant risks to both people and the environment, such as leaks that can lead to exposure to toxic materials. To mitigate these risks, strict regulations govern the transportation of chemical substances. Adhering to these stringent standards is essential to minimize the potential dangers associated with the transport of hazardous materials.

Carré Karton’s Square Drum offers an innovative solution for reducing risks during the transportation of hazardous substances. These drums comply with the strictest international standards for the transport of dangerous goods and are certified with the highest UN approval, Class X. Features like handhold openings and stackability ensure easy handling and efficient logistics, providing a safe and practical option for chemical transportation.

A UN X-certified cardboard drum offers several advantages, particularly for the safe, reliable storage and transportation of hazardous materials. Below are the key benefits:

Compliance with international regulations: A UN X certification ensures the drum complies with international regulations for transportation by road, sea, and air (including ADR, IMDG, and IATA guidelines). This eliminates issues during cross-border shipments and ensures businesses meet all safety requirements. In short, a UN X-certified cardboard drum delivers maximum safety, flexibility, and sustainability for the transportation and storage of hazardous materials, making it a reliable and cost-effective choice for various industries.

Safety and reliability: A UN X certification guarantees compliance with the strictest international standards for transporting hazardous goods, such as chemicals and pharmaceutical raw materials. The drum is rigorously tested for resistance to mechanical damage, pressure, temperature, and leaks, ensuring a high level of safety.

Suitable for hazardous goods in packaging groups I, II, and III: The X-certification represents the highest level of UN certification. The drum is suitable for substances classified under the three packaging groups:
• Group I (highly hazardous),
• Group II (moderately hazardous),
• Group III (less hazardous).

This versatility makes the drum suitable for a wide range of hazardous materials. 

Environmentally friendly: Cardboard drums are often made from recyclable materials, providing a more sustainable alternative to traditional metal or plastic packaging. They deliver the same level of safety but with a reduced environmental impact, making them ideal for companies looking to minimize their ecological footprint

Lightweight and cost-effective: Cardboard drums are significantly lighter than their metal or plastic counterparts. This reduces transportation costs and simplifies logistics handling, without sacrificing strength or safety. 

Easily customizable: UN X-certified cardboard drums can be equipped with plastic liners or coatings, allowing them to be tailored to the specific properties of the substances being transported. This adds extra flexibility to their use.
