In 1993, Avantor Performance Materials introduced the CYCLE-TAINER Returnable Container System.This innovative solvent delivery system, which allows solvent users to reduce waste, enhance safety, and maintain solvent purity, is now widely used in laboratories and manufacturing facilities throughout North America.TodayAvantor Performance Materials packaging options also include NOWPak containers, another returnable package designed to enhance safety and purity.
To simplify the process of returning empty containers, Avantor Performance Materials developed the SHaRE program. SHaRE is an acronym for SHipping and REturn. Through a contract with Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (ODFL), CYCLE-TAINER system users can take advantage ofAvantor Performance Materials low freight costs for the return of empty containers. This simple and economical program makes the return efficient and trouble-free. The steps of the SHaRE program are listed below.
If you have any questions regarding the SHaRE program, you may contact your localAvantor Performance Materials Sales Representative or theAvantor Performance Materials CYCLETAINER System Administrator by telephone at 1-855-AVANTOR(1-855-282-6867), ext.32675 or by e-mail at AvantorCTAdmin@avantormaterials.com.
