Metal or plastic drums are usually used to store liquid or paste products. Depending on the type, they can be suitable for chemical or food products such as honey or wine.

The HDPE tanks, on the other hand, are used for the storage of food liquids or, in the case of ADR/ONU approved models, also for polluting liquids such as chemicals or diesel.

Since these are equipment that contain liquid substances, to store them safely and to avoid contamination of the aquifers it is advisable to use specific containment tanks or cabinets.

The tanks and containment cabinets can be made of polyethylene or metal. Both types are watertight and with adequate capacity for the type of container to be stored.
