Challenge

Mariner Container Corp. was challenged by state governmental officials to develop a new type of recycled container for home septic systems to minimize storm water contamination from waste water collection  systems and reduce the plastic waste being disposed in our landfills. After extensive hours of research & development, Mariner Container Corp. created a revolutionary manufacturing process that would allow it to market and sell 1000 & 1250 gallon plastic septic tanks along with 150 cubic feet slow sand filtration system for septic tank system applications for consumers in the United States. What makes our septic containers so unique? Our molded containers are made from a blend of recycled plastic with virgin polyethylene materials in a patent pending manufacturing process, promising the most durable septic tank container in the industry. According to Rick Lampe, President of Mariner Container Corp., “Not only can we help reduce the waste plastic in our landfills but also find a valuable consumer source for recycled materials. It costs more to reprocess recycled plastics, but in the long run, we will help preserve our country’s precious natural resources for future generations to come.
