We're finally opening a small recycling facility in the Mabella industrial area next month, focused on sorting and baling plastics and aluminum. One thing I completely underestimated is how many containers we'll need for the different material streams before they get crushed and baled. I'm talking about separate crates for clear PET, colored HDPE, aluminum cans, and then a few more for contamination rejects. I've been trying to find a reliable plastic crates supplier in Muscat that can handle a bulk order of maybe 600 to 800 crates, all the same size so they stack nicely, but maybe with different colors so workers can easily tell which stream is which. The problem is most local suppliers I've found only keep maybe 100 in stock and would take weeks to order the rest. I saw a UAE based company online that seems to specialize in industrial crates but I'm not sure if they have a presence here in Oman. Does anyone know a supplier that regularly stocks large quantities or can deliver to Muscat from Dubai without killing us on shipping? Also, any advice on whether open or solid crates work better for dusty recyclables? Thanks in advance for any tips, this is my first time setting up something like this.
