Across the global packaging industry, the shift from single-use containers to more sustainable alternatives is reaching maximum velocity. In this rapidly evolving landscape, Hoover Circular Solutions (CS) stands out as a pioneering force, delivering eco-friendly packaging solutions to the chemical, refining, and industrial sectors.
A leading intermediate bulk container supplier with one of the largest mixed rental fleets of reusable IBCs, Catalyst Bins, and ISO Tanks, the company is not just participating in the change but driving it. Offering cutting-edge sustainable packaging solutions while reducing waste, conserving transportation resources and lowering greenhouse gas emissions, Hoover CS is positively impacting the planet and the industries it serves.
“We make it easy for customers to make an environmentally sound packaging choice and support them in articulating what that means in the context of their sustainability goals,” says Kevin Friar, CEO of Hoover CS.
Using materials like carbon and stainless steels or FDA-approved high-density polyethylene (HDPE), Hoover CS creates chemical and weather-resistant, heavy-duty containers with an easy-to-transport design and superior impact strength. Each of its IBCs is perfect for repetitive use in moving and storing bulk liquids and granulates thanks to their ability to markedly reduce residual and product waste. Built to last, these solutions offer safe and sustainable options with food-grade interiors and sanitary connections for managing viscous products or processing beverages, wine, and fermentation production.
A testament to its emphasis on safe transportation is the company’s Containment Basins, designed to enhance spill recovery and boost the management of hazardous and non-hazardous substances. Equally impressive is its DNV 2.7-1 standard-based Transport Frames, which ensure secure offshore transport. On the other hand, Catalyst Bins, made from high-quality carbon and stainless steel, maintain structural integrity while managing fresh, spent and presulfided catalysts or dry chemicals, optimizing turnaround costs.
Resource efficiency is embodied in Hoover CS’s X-2 system, which was developed to package catalysts for extended transport durations and is suitable for all modes of transportation. It can easily hold payloads of up to 4,300 lbs. or 1,950 kg ISO containers. Hoover CS also provides secure and cost-effective ISO tanks for bulk storage and transportation of liquids and gases. All packaging and tank solutions undergo cleaning, repairs, reconditioning, recertification, and last-mile delivery at Hoover CS’s service center in Odessa, Texas. This ensures every product meets the highest safety and efficiency standards.

The entire supply chain journey is monitored via Hoover CS’s fleet management program, which includes advanced IBC container tracking technologies, the proprietary FleetAI platform, and thought partnership. These tools enhance visibility into the movement of IBC fleets, minimizing total packaging costs and compliance risks while increasing overall productivity.
The GPS-driven FleetAI tracking system records real-time and intermittent tracking, displays standard and customizable dashboards and performs remote-level monitoring. It securely stores key documents and bills of ladings (BOLs) of telemetry repair and services on its mobile application. This seamless integration of ongoing operations provides targeted efficiencies and essential data at users’ fingertips.
A thoroughly green organization, Hoover CS helps secure a positive future for companies and benefits the planet by bridging the gap between technology and sustainability. It allows clients to create more value with less waste, providing tangible proof points to support their sustainability narratives.
Aligning with external frameworks like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Hoover CS ensures its efforts have maximum impact and credibility. In 2022, it earned a silver rating from EcoVadis, the most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, for its sustainable and eco-friendly operations.
The company continues to develop innovative tools that offer real-time snapshots of sustainability impacts and provide visibility into Scope 3 emissions associated with chemical transport. With a comprehensive and impactful solutions portfolio and a strong commitment to sustainability, Hoover CS is leading the green revolution and inspiring others to follow suit.
