Additional Services
In addition to our core cleaning service, we offer a range of complementary services for your containers:
- Manual Post-Cleaning: Upon request, we manually remove labels and stubborn dirt when machine cleaning alone is not sufficient.
- Transport Service: We take care of the logistics for your containers. In cooperation with our transport partner (e.g. Planzer in Villmergen), we organize pickup and return delivery of your packaging.
- Recycling Collection: Defective or worn-out Utz containers and pallets are collected and returned for recycling. This supports the closed material cycle within the Utz Group.
- Quality Inspection and Sorting: On request, we handle the sorting out of damaged containers. Depending on the agreement, defective items are either returned separately or sent directly to Georg Utz AG for reprocessing.
(Flexible pickup and delivery times are, of course, part of our service. We’ll accommodate your specific needs during our business hours from 5 AM to 2 PM.)
Packaging and transport
As we produce both internationally and locally with 8 locations on 3 continents, our production network ensures short distances to the customer. Due to our tool exchange, Utz products are equally available at all locations. Our Protective transport packaging is recyclable.
Product manufacture
Utz products are designed for optimal function as well as for optimized material usage. They are manufactured on modern, energy-efficient machines. The material productivity is almost 100 percent. Our goal is zero waste.
Raw material production
Utz plastics originate from local polymerization, local compounders or from our own processing. Our demand is secured by long-term agreements.
Reusable circuit
Most Utz customers engage in modern operational, storage or transport logistics based on reusable concepts. Depending on the load, Utz products can cope with thousands of cycles and therefore contribute to an improved reusable cycle.
Natural resources
Plastics are made from oil or gas. In the Utz cycle, these raw materials have been used repeatedly for decades.
Deployment at the customer site
Utz products are designed for long-term use by professional customers. Ergonomics, optimum handling, durability, and customer-specific functionality create ideal conditions for countless cycles of use.
Disposal
Our customers know the high value of plastics and only dispose of heavily soiled parts or composites. Combustion can be used to generate district heating or energy for cement production.
Return for recycling
Utz products can be reused almost 100 percent. As we grind products directly at the customer site, transport is reduced to the volume of granulate. As Utz products age very slowly, it often takes many years before they are discarded.
Key Questions and Answers About Our Additional Services
What types of containers and pallets can be cleaned?
We clean almost all types of plastic containers, boxes, pallets, and similar items, including Euro containers, KLT boxes, ESD trays, plastic pallets, and lids. In terms of size, we handle small parts starting from 150×100 mm up to Euro pallets (1200×1000 mm, up to 600 mm high). The only important requirement is that the material must be non-organic, we do not clean wooden pallets or cardboard, as our process is designed for water-resistant materials.
How does the cleaning process work?
The process is fully automated and multi-stage. Your containers go through our washing system where they are first pre-washed, then thoroughly cleaned in the main wash zone (using an alkaline detergent), followed by a hot rinse and final drying. This ensures that even stubborn residues are completely removed. The containers come out clean, with minimal residual moisture, and are ready for immediate use.
Does Pooltec also offer pickup and delivery services?
Yes. On request, we handle the transport logistics for your containers. In cooperation with a logistics partner, we organize both pickup and return delivery of your cleaned containers.
