But with challenges like loadshedding, water disruptions, and skills gaps, portable toilets for construction sites will prove critical to profitability. Mobile toilets are essential in health and safety, minimising risks, reducing downtime and maintaining legal compliance.
Last year, construction contributed 2.57% of SA's GDP and is set to rise with an AAGR of more than 3% from 2024 to 2027 (lula.co.za & globaldata.com). Provided, however, that construction companies can overcome some significant threats, namely:
So, you might ask, "How can portable toilets for construction sites" make any difference? Here are the answers.
Site managers must handle many moving parts on a construction site <link to https://www.pioneerplastics.co.za/pages/construction-site-solutions>, from materials to equipment to personnel. Margins for error are excruciatingly low because the slightest hiccup can snowball into days or weeks of delays.
Though seemingly small, portable toilets are fundamental to legal compliance, worker health and safety, productivity, environmental safety, cost-efficiency, and flexibility.
Adequate sanitation facilities for workers keep employees healthy, help morale, and improve productivity. While this article focuses on portable toilets for construction sites, sanitation solutions include urinals, hand washing stations, and, in some cases, showers.
The Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993 (OSHA) safeguards the health and safety of individuals at work. It protects against potential health and safety risks. The regulations mandate the provision of OSHA-compliant portable toilets for construction sites, specifying how many are needed based on the site size and workforce. Non-compliance or failure to comply can result in fines and potentially halt work.
Beyond ticking a compliance checkbox, site managers and SHE officers know that portable toilets provide a safe and private place for workers, preserving dignity and looking after worker health and safety. Adequate sanitation facilities are essential preventing the spread of disease.
Easily accessible portable toilets on site prevent workers from travelling far to find clean, reliable facilities, minimising downtime.
Having readily available sanitary facilities contributes to a more pleasant and hygienic work environment, boosting worker morale and satisfaction.
Portable toilets for construction sites are designed with sustainability in mind. As a waste disposal solution, they prevent sewage contamination, use minimal water and often incorporate eco-friendly materials.
It's too costly to build restroom facilities on a construction site, but mobile sanitation offers a cost-effective and temporary solution.
Construction sites are dynamic environments, and the layout may change as the project progresses. Portable toilets can be easily moved and relocated to accommodate these changes.
Not all portable toilets for construction sites are created equal. There's more to consider and compare than price alone. Remember that your construction site toilets must fulfil particular functions. What good is a port-a-potty that doesn't flush for health and safety?
At Pioneer Plastics, we've worked with the engineering and construction sectors for forty years. Our portable toilets, urinals, and basins are made from polyethylene plastic. Polyethylene is hard-wearing, weather-resistant, durable, UV-stabilised, lightweight and therefore easy to move.

]]>It's time to seriously consider a drought solution for your farm, business or home.
South Africa is facing the real possibility of dry taps in upcoming months—whether it is from El Niño or challenges with service delivery. Water conservation is now essential, and water tanks are an excellent way to store water for future use.
Here is everything you want to know about water tanks as a drought solution, from the benefits, available types, and how to choose the right size and material to steps for installation and maintenance.
Water Scarcity in South Africa
South Africa relies primarily on rainwater, and with a 463.42 mm mean average annual precipitation, it is considered a dry country. Climate change has worsened the problem, causing unpredictable and irregular rainfall patterns.
Over half of our dams are overexploited, and only 30% of our rivers are in good condition. Add to this population growth, prolific population growth and decades of underinvestment in infrastructure results in unreliable service delivery and an actual water scarcity threat. (Source https://www.gga.org/south-africas-worsening-water-security-crisis/)
Unlocking a Drought Solution via Water Tanks and Rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting with water tanks is an effective solution to combat water shortages. It creates an opportunity to secure your water supply, support sustainability, and adapt to changing climate conditions.
The Benefits of Installing a Water Tank
The many advantages of installing a water tank make it a wise drought solution.
Applications for Water Tanks
We've spoken extensively about rainwater harvesting, but there are many other applications for water tanks. These include:
Potable Water Tanks provide a food-safe drought solution for storing drinking water. They are UV-resistant and have airtight seals to maintain water quality.
Septic Tanks are engineered for wastewater treatment. They separate solid waste from wastewater, providing an environmentally friendly solution for sanitation
Chemical and Industrial Tanks are built to store and transport various chemicals. They are chemical and corrosion-resistant.

]]>Find out more about good and bad plastic and how we’ve Pioneered sustainability and eco-conscious endeavours throughout our forty-year existence.
Lifetime-use plastic is a more environmentally friendly option compared to single-use plastic.
Using durable, reusable plastic products reduces the overall demand for plastic production and minimises waste generation. Not only does this approach contribute to a sustainable and eco-friendly future, but it helps us to conserve resources today.
There are times when plastic is the superior choice for health, safety, and economic sustainability!
For example, agriculture often requires large quantities of water to be stored at once.
Materials like steel, glass, and bamboo are impractical due to rusting, fragility, and degradation. Polyethylene plastic, on the other hand, is resistant to odour, light, adverse weather, and corrosion. It is also food-safe!
Considering the above, plastic is the most sensible option, providing non-contamination and affordability advantages.
The great news is that polyethylene plastic tanks can be used for decades, and once their lifespan is over, they can be recycled. This choice of plastic helps you to REDUCE and REUSE.
As responsible citizens of the earth, we should all strive towards recycling as it plays a crucial role in drastically reducing the carbon footprint associated with plastic manufacturing.
We can actively contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious world by choosing to reuse and recycle plastic.
All Pioneer Products are 100% recyclable. We also put tremendous work into promoting recycling with our wide recycling bin range and educational articles.
One of our previous blogs, “What you should know about plastic recycling”, provides a few interesting facts about the use of plastic and the environmental impact of recycling. More importantly, it shows you which types of plastics can or can’t be recycled—so you can make informed decisions about the plastics you use.

Feel free to catch up on this blog about how to recycle too.
We support our government’s efforts to reduce (and hopefully eliminate) waste that goes to landfills.
To achieve that goal, we all need to recycle as much as possible, including paper, glass, metals, electronics, and batteries.
We also need to encourage people to dispose of their litter responsibly. Even if there are no recycling bins handy, the public must learn to put their rubbish in the bin!
View more about recycling bins and garbage/wheelie bins here
Pollution from litter kills birds and wildlife; clogs are stormwater drains, leading to flooding and infrastructure damage.
Increasing environmental awareness is the best way to combat litter pollution and pollution from leeching at landfills. Here are some steps to help!

Environmental awareness and eco-consciousness don’t only revolve around recycling but preserving natural resources as much as possible, too.
Tons of litres of water are used in manufacturing processes and, sadly, wasted in our homes. Imagine what a difference we could make if every household committed to sustainable water practices like rainwater harvesting.
We’ve written at length about water storage and rainwater harvesting subjects. These systems allow you to collect and store rainwater for various purposes, saving you money on utility bills.
Click here to learn more about water tanks here and rainwater harvesting systems.
We want to drive sustainability by advocating for the responsible use of plastics. We believe that part of the solution is distinguishing between harmful single-use plastics and eco-friendly, durable ones and creating educational resources about recycling and other resource-saving practices.
Our commitment extends to supporting efforts to reduce landfill waste, encourage responsible litter disposal, and promote rainwater harvesting as a sustainable way to preserve natural resources.
Here is to the next forty years, where we will remain dedicated to sustainability, recycling, and responsible waste management, aligning with the goal of a more eco-conscious and environmentally friendly future.

]]>Also called traffic cones or safety cones, road cones are remarkably versatile. They were traditionally only seen at mines and construction sites but have proven useful everywhere.
You’ve probably seen towering 1,8 m and 1,4 m cones in your local shopping centre parking lots. We’re thrilled that the benefits of highly visible—even reflective—road cones have reached the public.
Although they seem to be a target for some in driving school yards, 😂road cones are effective for preventing accidents and directing traffic.
Traffic cones create temporary diversions during roadworks, accidents, or events. They ensure a smooth traffic flow and decrease the risk of accidents by guiding motorists away from the affected area.
Safety cones can temporarily close lanes to regulate traffic flow. Strategically placed road cones easily communicate to drivers that a lane is closed, avoiding confusion and potential collisions.
Road cones have proven instrumental in marking parking spaces and maintaining order in parking lots.
It is always good news when you see shopping centres expanding in a flagging economy. Our reflective and brightly coloured traffic cones keep shoppers safe by clearly demarcating building zones.
Once the construction is over, the renovations usually attract heaps of new visitors! Again, road cones come to the rescue. They help to prevent accidents and make it easier for drivers to navigate and find available parking spots.
While road cones primarily cater to motorists, they also play a crucial role in promoting pedestrian safety. Reflective cones clearly mark areas where pedestrians should cross, ensuring drivers are aware of their presence.
Pioneer Plastics offers a range of high-quality traffic cones with the following safety features:
Sustainability is more than a buzzword! We need to start sustainable practices at home to ensure the longevity of our planet for future generations.
Saving the world sounds daunting, but it’s possible if we all do our bit. Here’s a look at practical things you can start doing today to preserve ecological and human health.
Don’t underestimate the sustainability power of your contribution to recycling!
Recycling at home may seem small, but it has a significant impact on the environment and economic sustainability:
By recycling household items such as paper, plastic, and glass, we can help conserve natural resources and reduce the amount of waste in landfills.
Recycling also uses less water and energy than manufacturing from raw materials. This leads to creating less greenhouse emissions, too.
The government can only achieve the goal of zero waste to landfill if each of us gets involved.
With the right approach, recycling at home can be pretty enjoyable—and sustainable 😉
Consider chatting with your complex management to introduce recycling on a larger scale. Here are the tools to get you started.
We all agree that gardening is a calming, if not therapeutic, pastime.
For years, we’ve thought that the benefits of gardening are time outdoors, soaking up Vitamin D and getting some light exercise.
Now you can add to your peace of mind by knowing that your hobby can add to sustainability.
Rainwater harvesting is a sustainable way to irrigate your garden without relying on municipal water.
Growing your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs does wonders!
Hydroponics is a fantastic way to get saplings started. Try these flowerpots for herbs (especially mint, which can overrun your garden).

]]>Short days and cold weather can be a downer—even if only a few months of winter are left. Here's the best way to see out the season, keeping things warm and cosy.
Yes, yes, we love the great outdoors. But, when it's freezing—in other words, under 16° 😂—it's best to stay inside.
So, what will see you through the last of the winter months? Here are our happiness hacks in a nutshell:
Intrigued? Let's get dive into the details.
Bundling up to go outside, brave the cold weather (and even colder refrigerator aisles), queue, and carry can take up precious time.
It's no wonder that food & grocery delivery has exploded to a 2.1 billion Dollar market!
South Africa Online Food Delivery Market 2023 projection as per Statista
That's just food, but you can also shop for pharmaceuticals, clothing and gifts from your couch.
With all these goods in transit, reliable bike boxes are in high demand.
Did you know we've been manufacturing delivery bike boxes for 40 years? You'd be surprised how often Pioneer Plastics has been behind your home delivery.
We won't name-drop, but let's say there's a custom bike box design for a "dapper" pizza chain we know you'd recognise. 😉
You can keep a cool head in the cold weather by tackling home projects that usually get put off in favour of camping, skiing and other away-from-home experiences.
The first one I recommend is decluttering. This simple exercise busts boredom uplifts your mood, and, best of all—frees up space! The most effective way to declutter is to move things off the floors. Shelving and wall-mounting go a long way to instantly (and affordably) face-lifting a room.
Go to the garage first. Neaten up by placing tools, pool parts, sports gear and more in cupboards and on shelves (stacking boxes work well here).
You can even mount bicycles along with shoes, cleats and helmets for a super sleek look. Protect your precious wheels from damage while enjoying the convenience of no longer shimmying past all the time.
If you HAVE to leave the house 😊 then there's an Igloo awaiting.
The science behind the igloo design is fascinating. The dome shape helps to keep inside temperatures warmer than outside. This is part of the inspiration behind our Igloo housing and storage solution.
Double-skin polyethylene panels are weather resistant and invulnerable to rot, mould and other degradation. They are relatively light compared to other building materials, yet just as sturdy—oh, wait, did we mention that they hold up well against fire too?
Being strong and easy to construct makes the Igloos an excellent option for:
And the biggest bonus of all? You won't overheat in summer. The structure's shape strategically placed windows, and a door keep temps cool (and pleasant).
From these ideas to starting hydroponic gardening, recycling, composting and a rainwater harvesting system—Pioneer has everything you need.
We pride ourselves on developing long-lasting, affordable, practical products to see you through every season.

]]>South Africa's winter is thankfully mild compared to other countries. Apart from the Western Cape, we have clear sunny days and low rainfall. Though temperatures drop significantly at night, the days are pleasant.
For these reasons, our seasons confuse people around the world and even many South Africans. Did you know that there are thousands of Google searches for "When does Winter start?" and "When does Winter end?".
Autumn is officially March, April, and May (but many agree March & April are still warm). Our winter months are June, July, and August. So, here's the easiest hack to remember them - South Africa's cold months don't contain the letter ‘R’.
There's no shortage of ways to enjoy winter in South Africa. The days are sunny, but the wind brings the chill factor. Despite this, no rain means you can still venture outdoors without hassle.
There’s plenty to keep you busy and entertained at home with Pioneer.
South Africans are so geared towards summer that when winter rolls around, we are surprised that it is cold. 😂
No matter what, we will still find a way to socialise outside. And that's where the Pioneer Fire Stand comes in!
The collapsible fire stand is small but mighty and packs neatly into a hinged carry case. You easily pack it on your next adventure or use it to heat up your outdoor entertaining area. ️🔥
The fire stand has a base plate and a loose-fitting grid that fits on top for use as a standalone braai. It’s a fantastic option for folks living in townhouses and smaller complexes where there might not be space for a permanent structure.
We have the perfect way to keep your furbabies warm during these lower temperatures!
It shouldn't surprise you that polyethylene plastic is the perfect material for dog kennels. It insulates incredibly well, protecting pets against the icy old wind while retaining warmth. It is odour resistant and only requires a wipe or rinse to keep it clean inside and out. Check it out the dog kennel range here.
We've embellished one of our models with side pots for flowers that give it a homey feel. If you prefer a simple kennel, the other model only weighs 9 kg, so you can easily carry it inside a garage or courtyard if needed.
The winter season is the perfect time to start your hydroponic garden. It's sustainable, eco-friendly, and a great indoor activity! Starting now means that you'll have yummy ingredients in time for next season!
There's a long list of what you can grow with hydroponic gardening. Here are just a few:
Besides having fresh ingredients on hand all year round, another benefit of hydroponic gardening is that your produce isn't vulnerable to adverse weather or rodents.
Don't worry about where to start! We have everything you need with this easy beginners guide and tools for the trade.
Home Improvements to Consider During South African Winter
In Gauteng, no rainfall makes South Africa's winter months the opportune time to do projects around the home, like painting and installing a rainwater harvesting system. But don't think the Western Cape is excluded. You can still do indoor renovations with the bonus that builders might be more flexible on pricing during their "low season."

Our precious planet Earth is the only one we’ve got. But we are running out of resources, and carbon emissions are causing havoc on our climate. We can all do our part to reduce our impact on the Earth and sustain life on this planet for longer.
As they say, charity begins at home. So, we’re looking at ways you can make yours more eco-friendly without blowing your budget.
An eco-friendly home aims to make as little negative impact on the planet as possible. From using non-toxic materials to saving energy and water, producing very little waste.
In construction, it means using green building materials (and reducing waste in the process). However, the barrier to entry for building entirely green homes is still relatively high. But it doesn’t mean we can’t participate in more sustainable practices!
There are cost-effective modifications we can make that will save the planet and people. These changes will even help you save money in the long run!
Going green at home has many benefits. As a start, you’ll minimise your carbon footprint, which is good for the planet. You will consume fewer resources such as electricity and water. This can help the environment and even help you reduce your utility bills.
By being more conscious of environmentally-friendly practices, you’ll likely make more health-conscious choices as well. And who doesn’t want to improve their family’s health?
Recycling is one of the easiest ways to get into green living—and it hardly costs a thing!
In fact, it’s free, but what makes recycling work is “separation at source”. That means separating your recyclables by material before discarding them. That’s why we recommend getting some nifty recycling bins to make the job easier. And that’s your only cost.
Separating your materials at home makes it much easier when you do drop-offs at your nearest depots. The easier you make it, the more likely you are to continue.
Some companies collect specific materials. So, you can have things ready for the glass guys on Wednesdays and all your paper packed for the self-employed reclaimer who makes his income with your waste!
Important tip: rinse all your materials before disposing of them. It keeps away icky smells and pests and increases the likelihood of it getting recycled. Some recycling places won’t accept “spoiled” material. (P.S. You can read more about plastic recycling here).
Once you’ve recycled food packing, you can also recycle your organic waste by composting at home.
In case you missed it, here are 5 great reasons to start composting right now.
Homemade compost is great if you’re growing your own vegetables and herbs! Not only can you save money on otherwise expensive fertilisers and compost mixes from the shops, but you also know that you’re adding harsh chemicals to your garden.
This 200L Compost bin has everything you need whether your garden is big or small. It’s tiered, so it takes up little space and contains odours well. Phew!
The very best news of all is this. After recycling and composting food scraps, very little general waste will be left. That means you and your family are sending less to landfills—helping South Africa to reach its Zero Waste to Landfill goal.
Drumroll, please. We’ve reached our third planet and money-saving tip for sustainability at home.
So, you’ve reduced your waste and used what’s left to create nutrient-rich food for your plants. Now you can harvest what nature supplies to water them and fill your pool and cisterns. That’s right; you can literally stop flushing municipal water down the drain!
With an added filter and pump, you can reduce demand on water supply even further—saving energy and money all around.

]]>This article explores the components of a portable toilet, where they are used, and considerations when buying one. We'll also discuss why choosing a reliable portable toilet manufacturer is important.
By understanding these key points, you can decide which type of portable toilet is right for your needs.
A portable toilet is any toilet that does not require plumbing or a permanent structure that can be moved from one place to another. They offer an easy solution for sanitation when there is no access to plumbing or sewer systems.
They are also known as mobile toilets, porta-potties (which is a brand name), or portaloo. You'll also hear them referred to as a chemical toilet and that's because the human waste is treated with chemicals to minimise odour until the tank is emptied.
Portable toilets are an excellent solution for areas lacking infrastructure and where traditional plumbing is unavailable. For this reason, they are used extensively in informal settlements.
Besides housing situations, you'll find portable loos most often at construction sites and events where large numbers of people congregate.
In all of these instances, portable toilets provide a much-needed service that allows people to access a clean and safe bathroom facility when they need it most.
When choosing portable toilets, you should look for several components, such as a pedestal seat, flush, tap, lockable door, occupied sign and ventilation. Each component is essential for providing users with the most comfortable and hygienic experience possible.
The pedestal seat offers a comfortable seating option, while the flush helps keep the interior clean and sanitary. A tap provides running water for handwashing, and a lockable door ensures privacy. An occupied sign lets others know when the toilet is in use. Finally, ventilation helps keep odours at bay.
Here's an example of our flagship portable toilet, manufactured with these components and a few extra bells and whistles.
is made of LLDPE and is rotomoulded so it can withstand the harshest conditions. We will chat more about the material below. It is frequently used at schools, construction sites, and informal settlements and is ideal for almost any public area.
A particularly noteworthy design feature is how we've made it less vulnerable to vandalism than other portable loos on the market. Other highlights include:
The dimensions are 1.15 w x 1.14 d x 2.2 h (meters); 74 Kilograms. The standard tank volume is 180 - 220 litres, while the waste drum volume is 110 litres.
If you're on the hunt for a reliable portable toilet manufacturer, ask them what they are made of! We meant the toilets, of course.
The material makes all the difference.
Pioneer Plastics uses UV-stabilised polyethylene plastic. This type of plastic is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, making it perfect for use in portable toilets. It's lightweight, durable, and easy to clean, making it the ideal material for such applications.
Are you looking for a portable toilet for an event or construction site? While it may seem easier to rent a portable toilet, there are pros and cons to consider.
Think about cost, convenience, maintenance, and how often you need them. The price will most likely be your biggest deciding factor.
In South Africa, the cost of hiring a mobile toilet can vary depending on the size and type of toilet you need. Other factors include location, installation costs and maintenance costs. Portable toilets are affordable for those looking for short-term sanitation solutions in South Africa. On average, you're looking at R7000-R1000 for a decent portable toilet.
We have a long history of working with engineering and construction firms on private and public sector projects. We've used our experience to manufacture other mobile health and sanitation solutions like urinals, wash basins and septic tanks.
Please feel free to chat with us about your mobile sanitation needs. We'd love to become your portable toilet manufacturer of choice.
]]>Water tanks are containers for storing water for numerous applications such as irrigation or drinking water (filtered, of course).
For your home, an above-ground water tank will likely be the most convenient, efficient and cost-effective water storage. Here are some reasons why:
Unlike in-ground tanks, you don't have to dig up your garden or hire a contractor—this makes them easier to install on your own. And while they may cost more upfront, they'll pay for themselves in labour costs and savings on your water bill over time.
They're above ground, so you don't risk your tank collapsing if the water table is high in certain seasons. Again, because these tanks are not buried underground, there's no need for lengthy irrigation systems or other complicated plumbing.
You can access your tank easily, so you won't incur massive expenses if there are clogs from debris. Above-ground water tanks are just more convenient and reliable.
[Call out (but please keep this text indexable)] Aren't water tanks called Jojo tanks? Jojo is the name of a product that is a water tank made out of polyethylene plastic, just like Pioneer Plastics' water tanks. Sometimes people will say Jojo when they are referring to any water tank, the same way some people say Sunlight for dishwashing liquid.
Water tanks come in so many shapes and sizes that it's easy to find one that suits your needs. Pioneer Plastic Tanks are available in a range of sizes and designs. They're made from high-grade polyethylene plastic, which is UV stabilised for use in the harshest conditions. This means it can keep your water food grade if you'd like to use it for drinking.
Look at these tanks designed as flowerpots for your aesthetics.
If you live in an area with abundant rain, you may want to collect water for household use, including drinking water.
Polyethylene plastic is the most common material for water tanks for this reason. It is a tough, durable plastic that's non-toxic and non-leaching. You can enjoy fresh drinking water all year long if you store your tank in a low-light (shaded) area, apply a filter, and clean it regularly.
Tank liners help keep rainwater fresh and clean, too. They can be cleaned and are low-cost enough to be replaced when they are no longer usable. Tank liners are available in various colours to suit your home's exterior and are made from high-grade virgin material.
Rainwater harvesting is a great way to reduce the amount of municipal water you use. By capturing rainwater, you can reduce your household's reliance on tap water and save money. Rainwater harvesting can also help you reduce your carbon footprint by reducing the amount of energy needed to treat water before it reaches your home!
Rainwater tanks are easy to install, maintain and use. They're also an investment that will help you save money on your water bills and reduce your environmental impact. A good rainwater tank will last for years and save you time in the long run.

Jetties are a key component of this lifestyle. For those who are not familiar with the concept of a jetty, it is an extension of land into the ocean.
We tend to recall the old wooden jetties that we are accustomed to when we think of jetties. It is becoming increasingly popular to use plastic jetties as people become more concerned about saving the environment. Furthermore, they are more water-resistant, in addition to being more durable.
The problem with wooden jetties is that they are more likely to suffer from termite infestations. In contrast, the benefit of plastic jetties is that they will not corrode from salt water and will last for many years to come. They require less maintenance and will continue to look good for a very long time to come.
Would you like to purchase long-lasting, UV-stabilized plastic jetties that won't break your budget? You're in the right place. Pioneer Plastics manufactures high-quality jetties that can withstand all types of water. We offer a wide variety of jetties suitable for dams, rivers, and canals. You can use them for boat parking, sundowners, and fishing. Our installation process is hassle-free and flexible.
We must protect the planet for the sake of our children. And what better way to do that than by investing in plastic jetties from Pioneer Plastics? Contact us for more information or to request a free quote.
]]>In addition to being inexpensive, plastic storage containers are long-lasting, which makes them a more cost-effective choice for warehouse workers. These advantages include the following.
Traditionally, wooden crates have been susceptible to moisture damage and have lost their integrity because they are porous. Plastic containers, however, are water-resistant and easy to clean. Empty plastic containers can be cleaned with soap and water. They also maintain their appearance.
For warehouse managers concerned about their budgets, plastic containers are a cost-effective option that is easy to use and inexpensive to purchase.
High-quality plastic containers are impact-resistant and can withstand the tough handling of warehouse workers, including forklifts and other heavy equipment. While plastic containers cannot compete with metal containers, they are usually not necessary.
Compared to metal shelves, plastic containers are light and easy to carry. These days, many plastic containers are equipped with non-slip bottoms to keep them from bumping and falling. To maintain the health of your employees, plastic containers allow you to store and transport your products safely and reduce the amount of damage.
Plastic containers require no special maintenance other than easy cleaning.
Stackable plastic containers can reduce clutter on the floor of your store or warehouse. Many plastic containers can be stacked, so you will be able to make better use of your warehouse's available storage space.
Contact Pioneer Plastic today if you are looking for high-quality, affordable plastic containers.
]]>If your workplace is cluttered, you might want to consider using storage bins and containers as a storage alternative. Clutter has been proven to reduce productivity, which is not something you want to see in the workplace.

]]>Here's a look into the world of rotational moulding, how it works and its advantages.
There are several ways to mould plastic. The most popular types of plastic moulding are extrusion moulding, compression moulding, blow moulding, injection moulding and rotational moulding.
Rotational moulding is often called rotomoulding in South Africa and abroad. Rotomoulding involves transforming complex shapes into cost-effective products.
Sometimes people think of injection moulding and rotational moulding as the same thing—but there are differences.
Rotomoulding can produce hollow objects, whereas injection moulding produces solid ones. This is due to the processes and nature of the raw materials—polymers—that they use. These factors also affect the price of the products.
Let's look at how rotational moulding works
Rotational moulding is a manufacturing process that uses a closed mould and heat to produce hollow, solid or semi-solid parts of any size. The process is carried out with polyethylene, a versatile, readily available material.
The polyethylene, in powder form, is poured into the closed (hollow-shaped) mould. The mould is heated and rotated slowly in vertical and horizontal planes. During this process, the polyethylene melts and evenly coats the inside of the mould. The process is precise, meaning that the walls of the product will have a uniform thickness.
Once cooled, you will have a hollow product with one continuous surface. So, unlike injection moulding, where two solid sides need to be fitted together, you won't have any seams.
Examples of Rotomoulded Products
The possibilities are virtually endless when it comes to rotomoulding in South Africa. That's why our motto is "Anything's Possible"
Rotomoulded products are seamless, robust, rustproof, odour-resistant, and food safe! For these reasons, the most common rotomoulded products are:
Rotational moulding creates the perfect lightweight yet hardwearing products:
Finally, durability and cost-effectiveness are the main drivers of these products:
We haven't even scratched the surface! If you want to see more, visit our home page.
The rotational moulding process has been around for decades, but lately, rotomoulding in South Africa is more popular than ever.
That's because of the numerous advantages of rotational moulding:
Rotational moulding lends itself well to prototyping because your imagination only limits you. Look no further if you're looking for custom conceptualisation, design, and production.
We're only too happy to help you innovate, one rotomoulded product at a time. Feel free to contact us to discuss your goals and ideas.
]]>The current sanitation issue faced by many South Africans is addressed by chemical toilets. Chemical toilets collect human waste in a holding tank. Strong chemicals are used to minimize odours and partially disinfect the waste. As a result, chemical toilets are much more hygienic than conventional toilets.
It is extremely important to clean the toilet regularly with antibacterial agents to help manage bacterial problems effectively. Once the drums are full, the waste must be transported to a sewerage treatment facility for treatment.
You may need to do this once or twice a week, depending on how many people use the toilet. Ensure that you follow local regulations by utilizing a licensed hauling company.
High-quality plastic toilets are manufactured by Pioneer Plastics to ensure that everyone has access to sanitation. These toilets are commonly used for sanitation in townships; however, they can also be utilized on construction sites and large events such as concerts and festivals.
We offer a wide selection of optional extras, including washbasins, urinals, and flushing options, in addition to our locally manufactured toilets, which are more durable than those imported.

]]>A rainwater harvesting system collects and stores rainwater for various uses – but not for drinking. In most cases, these systems are used to flush toilets, but they can also supply washing machines, irrigation of the garden, and other non-potable uses.
An excellent reason to invest in a rainwater harvesting tank right now is to protect the environment, prepare for emergencies, increase your garden's self-sufficiency and resilience, provide the best possible water for your plants, and save money on your water/sewer bills.
While rainwater harvesting projects are all about rain, the truth is, that no one wants to work in the rain. Installing a rainwater harvesting system requires intermediate DIY skills. A dry surface is ideal for levelling.
As soon as that first drop falls, you'll be glad you set up your rainwater harvesting system. We need to conserve water to protect the planet for future generations.
Installing rainwater harvesting tanks in the summer is a popular choice. But, by the time you figure out all the steps, you've missed the first storms.

]]>In a septic tank, a waterproof container is placed underground (usually circular or rectangular) connected to two pipes – an inlet and an outlet. It is made of fibreglass, plastic, or concrete. In a septic tank, water waste is collected in the inlet pipe and separated from solid waste. Septic tanks use outlet pipes to draw out pretreated wastewater and distribute it evenly to the ground and waterways.
There are three layers to the wastewater, depending on how it separates. The first layer, known as scum, is made up of fat and oil that floats on top of the waste. The middle layer consists of waste particles and wastewater, while the lowest layer consists of sludge, which is heavier than water.
As soon as the liquids have been separated from the solid waste, bacteria in the wastewater disintegrate the solid waste inside the tank, dissolving it quickly in order to allow the liquid to drain out.
Septic tank systems provide many advantages to rural homeowners. You can count on Pioneer Plastics if you need a septic tank between 1000 and 5000 litres. We provide high-quality septic tanks at an affordable price. For more information about our services, please feel free to contact us. We now have the option for you to order online as well.
]]>It is important to keep dogs confined to keep them from getting lost and running away. But what happens when it is cold and rainy? They need shelter from the elements as well. Here are five reasons why your dog needs a kennel.
Essentially, kennels serve as your dog's bedroom. They are a safe, comfortable place for him to play, rest, and sleep while away from things that might cause him stress, such as kids and visitors.
You can use a dog kennel to train your dog, as well as for timeouts to manage bad behaviour. You should not use your dog's kennel as a punishment; instead, teach them that it's a place to relax.
Outdoor kennels allow your dog to get visual and mental stimulation, which helps calm him and reduce excess energy. Dogs love spending time outdoors, which helps them to use all of their expendable energy.
If your dog is preoccupied, they won't destroy your garden. Dogs can be very territorial, which is why it's important to give them their own space.
Leaving a dog with separation anxiety at home alone can lead to him scratching and chewing things out of boredom. You cannot even imagine what damage he can cause over the course of just a few hours.
Providing high-quality and affordable plastic products to South Africans, Pioneer Plastics manufactures dog kennels for all breeds. Contact us today for more information!
]]>Waste and bacteria are eliminated in septic tanks by the natural filtering process of the soil. Septic tanks allow the reuse of water while replenishing the water tables naturally. Listed below are five benefits of installing a septic tank.
In the long run, septic systems save you money by eliminating water bills from public utilities. Compared to installing new pipes, it is also much more economical.
In the event that sewer lines leak raw sewage, groundwater can be contaminated. Septic systems don't run through sewers, so there's no risk of leaks. Furthermore, its natural filtration system minimises pollution.
The lifespan of a septic tank can range from twenty to forty years, making it an extremely durable investment.
Since septic tanks only need to be pumped every three to five years, they require little maintenance. Keeping your septic system clean and in good working order requires regular (annual) inspections and cleaning.
Due to the filtration systems in septic tanks, you don't have to depend on local sewer systems for safety. A septic plumbing contractor can easily fix any problems that may arise.
The majority of homeowners benefit from having a septic tank system. At Pioneer Plastics, our septic tanks are available in sizes ranging from 1000 litres to 5000 litres. Besides being high-quality, our septic tanks are also very affordable. Please contact our team if you would like more information or a free quote.
