In certain situations it may make sense to purchase a second hand container over a brand new one.

Whatever the reason, purchasing an old container can save you money and is an excellent option for many purposes and projects.

Steel is the main material used in these units and a quality container can last for as long as twenty years. It is important to keep in mind that purchasing an old shipping container is both green and economically prudent. The manufacturing of a single container requires large amounts of energy and raw materials, which is why reuse of a container is an environmentally sustainable option.
