Who are Verdetrade and What Do They Do

If you’ve ever wondered who the players are behind the curtain of industrial packaging reuse, let’s pull back that curtain and shine a light on Verde Trader. 

This company is dedicated to transforming what many would consider “waste” into value, doing so in a manner that benefits both businesses and the planet.

What Verde Trader Is

Verdetrader is an online marketplace and service platform offering a way for companies to buy, sell, and recycle used industrial packaging. In simpler terms: they help businesses find containers, drums, pallets and boxes that have already been used, give them a second life, and keep less material from ending up in a landfill.

Their inventory includes things like:

  • Gaylord boxes (large bulk-cardboard containers)

  • IBC totes (big plastic/metal cages for liquids)

  • Plastic drums, steel drums, fiber drums

  • Wood pallets, plastic pallets

Why They Exist (and Why It Matters)

Saving money

When a business buys used containers instead of brand-new, they can save significant costs. Verde Trader makes that option easier and more reliable.

Sustainability

The “reuse” model advances a circular economy: materials stay in use longer, less raw resource is needed, fewer containers headed for trash. Verde Trader emphasizes this “triple-win” of cost saving + waste reduction + positive environmental impact.

Logistics & Ease

They don’t just list used packaging—they offer pickup, delivery, quotes, and support. That makes the process smoother for businesses.

How the Business Works

  1. Selling used packaging: If a business has surplus drums, totes, pallets, or boxes they no longer need, they can request a quote from Verde Trader. The company handles pickup and logistics.

  2. Buying used packaging: If a business needs containers, they can browse Verde Trader’s inventory (used and reconditioned) at a lower cost than new. 

  3. Recycling & reuse coordination: For items that cannot continue to serve in their original role, Verde Trader helps ensure materials are handled responsibly. For example, used plastic drums are cleaned, graded, and reused where possible.

What Makes Them Stand Out

  • Nationwide reach: They operate across the U.S., meaning businesses from many states can access their service.

  • Dedicated support: One-on-one reps help guide the process, meaning the customer isn’t left figuring logistics alone. 

  • Sustainability framing: Instead of simply being a used-container broker, they position themselves as an environmental solution, which gives them a stronger appeal in today’s conscious business world.

  • Clear inventory & specs: For example, they provide details about drum sizes, condition (used/rinsed/food-grade) and pallet specs.

Things to Consider / For Potential Buyers & Sellers

  • Condition matters: Used packaging comes in varying states--cleanliness, structural integrity, suitability for reuse (especially for food or chemical grade). Make sure the condition meets your needs. Example: plastic drums may be “reconditioned”, “used rinsed”, or “used dirty”.

  • Compatibility & specs: When you buy used, you still must check size, wall strength (for boxes), pallet dimension, lid type (for drums) etc. Verde Trader helps list these, but buyer diligence is still key. 

  • Logistics & lead time: While Verde Trader offers pickup and delivery, timing may vary depending on location, inventory, and condition. For sellers, prepping items for pickup is required.

  • Fit for purpose: Used items are great for many applications, but certain industries (food, pharma) may have stricter compliance needs. Ensure the used container meets the regulations your business requires.

In a Nutshell

Verde Trader is like a thriving marketplace for industrial packaging that’s already lived one life and is ready for a second. They help companies with the “what-to-do-with-surplus” problem, with the “need-containers-but-don’t-want-brand-new-cost” problem, and with the “how-to-be-greener” problem—all in one. For businesses big and small, this means fewer wasted resources, improved sustainability, and smarter budgeting.

If you’re in a business that uses drums, pallets, totes, boxes, or other bulk containers—selling what’s sitting unused or buying what you need at less cost—Verde Trader could be a strong partner.
