Line 74:
An IBC can be leased in a closed-loop (using only the IBCs which were used by a given customer and washed or rebottled) or the most common open-loop system (where the origin of the rebottled or wash unit is flexible). For plastic composite units, the trip lease{{explain|date=October 2017}} has largely been replaced by a blended purchase.
Single use flexible IBC's such as those used for aggregate transportation in the construction industry are a major source of [[plastic pollution]]. Most aggregate suppliers do not offer a scheme to refund a deposit upon return of empty IBC's & (in UK) they are frequently [[Illegal dumping|fly tipped]] & seen abandoned roadside.
