PLASTICS LOGISTICS BY DEN HARTOGH

POLYMER LOGISTICS AND BULK PLASTIC TRANSPORT SOLUTIONS

The plastics and polymer industry relies on stable, contamination free and well organised logistics. From basic polymers to high performance plastic materials, producers require a logistics partner that understands product sensitivity, safety requirements and the dynamics of a competitive market.

At Den Hartogh, we deliver specialised plastic logistics solutions as part of our wider polymer logistics offering. With strong European coverage, dedicated equipment and a service driven approach, we support reliable plastic transport across complex industrial plastic supply chains.

 

Dry Bulk Logistics process

Polymer Logistics for a Competitive Market

The polymer sector is highly competitive, with decisions often driven by price and service reliability. This makes consistency, flexibility and added value essential within modern polymer transport operations.

Den Hartogh supports customers beyond pure transportation. Through technical support, strategic storage concepts and close operational coordination, we help stabilise and optimise polymer flows across Europe. Our focus is on building long term partnerships that strengthen the resilience of the plastic supply chain, even under changing market conditions.

Plastic Products We Transport

Our plastic logistics activities cover a broad range of dry bulk polymer products used across multiple industries. These include:

  • Polyethylene
  • Polypropylene
  • Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
  • Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
  • Polycarbonate
  • Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA)
  • Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)

While we handle all major polymer types, there is a specific operational focus on PVC transport, particularly in pressurised tanks for powder based products. This allows us to safely manage sensitive polymer flows.

Equipment for Safe and Efficient Plastic Transport

Selecting the right equipment is essential for reliable plastic transport and contamination free delivery. Granular polymer products such as polyethylene, polypropylene and PET are typically transported in 30 foot dry bulk containers.

Powder based materials, including PVC, are mainly moved using pressurised tank containers. This setup supports controlled handling, consistent unloading and high safety standards within polymer transport operations. All equipment is maintained according to strict quality procedures, with driver training and hygiene protocols forming the foundation of our bag in box and pressurised tank concepts.

Building Safe Plastic Supply Chains Together

Safety and quality are at the core of our polymer transport operations. Ensuring contamination free delivery, trained drivers and strict handling procedures is essential for protecting product integrity across the plastic supply chain.

At the same time, we continuously invest in safer and more efficient operations through driver training, mentoring and practical sustainability initiatives. By combining safety focused execution with responsible operational choices, we support reliable and Smarter Logistics across Europe, because We're Better Together.
