Packaging manufacturer, Schütz, is assisting BASF with its ‘Helping Hands’ initiative by supplying a number of free intermediate bulk containers (IBCs).
In order to ensure hospitals are being stocked with hand sanitiser in order to ensure strict hygiene amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, BASF is providing hand disinfectant free of charge to hospitals in the Rhein-Neckar metropolitan region.
In support and recognition of this project, Schütz is supplying every second container without charge to BASF. These IBCs comply with the latest packaging safety requirements for sensitive hygiene products.
To facilitate the additional capacities and ensure the necessary supply security, production at the Schütz headquarters in Selters is now running at full speed at weekends.
“With ‘Helping Hands’, we are implementing another important project together in our long standing partnership with BASF. We are pleased to be able to help,” said Veit Enders, Management of Schütz, about this project.
As an environmentally friendly bonus, the IBCs are collected free of charge from end users by the Schütz Ticket Service and recycled internally as part of the sustainable reconditioning process.
The demand is so high that BASF is now successively expanding its production and supply scope: after initially supplying hospitals with intensive care and ventilation facilities, the disinfectants are now also being supplied to medical practices.
Depending on current daily availability, BASF intends to gradually roll out supplies to other areas of the health care system in the Rhein-Neckar region.
