Greenhouse farming is growing faster than ever across North America as the climate becomes more unpredictable and demand for affordable produce surges. As a result, smart farmers are turning to greenhouse operations to meet the market’s demand for year-round availability. Due to the rise in indoor growing operations, farmers have been able to consistently provide tomatoes, cucumbers, specialty greens, and much more. With this growth comes a need for efficient harvesting solutions that support efficiency, profits, and hygienic practices. This is where Thunderbird Plastics comes in with our line-up of reusable plastic harvest crates. Our food-grade injection-moulded plastic bins are specifically designed with farmers in mind. Engineered to withstand the most demanding agricultural environments, our harvesting crates are perfect for high-output and tightly organized greenhouse operations.

From small-scale hydroponic setups to commercial-scale greenhouses, our reusable harvesting bins help farmers move their produce faster, more efficiently, and more confidently.

Why Greenhouse Farmers Choose Reusable Plastic Harvest Bins

Unlike cardboard or wooden bins, plastic harvest crates do not absorb moisture, meaning that they do not break down or harbor bacteria. They are easy to sanitize and rugged enough for daily use in high-traffic, high-impact, humid environments. The insides are smooth and will not damage or leave any undesirable residue or smell on delicate greenhouse produce.

Furthermore, Thunderbird Plastics’ crates are stackable when full and nestable when empty, helping farmers maximize limited space in the greenhouse and during transport.

Food Safety and Traceability Solutions for Greenhouse Operations

For greenhouse operations that grade and sort their produce, we offer each of our harvesting containers in various colors, allowing farmers to enjoy color-coded organization and increased traceability. With the rise of Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)-recognized certifications such as GlobalG.A.P., CanadaGAP, and organic compliance programs, farmers are innovating and finding new ways to meet strict hygiene and traceability markers[1].

By using food-grade, easy-to-clean, easy-to-color-code, and easy-to-label harvest crates, farmers have an incredible advantage. Thunderbird Plastics’ crates can be stamped with a logo and are compatible with barcode tracking systems, making auditing and compliance a breeze from seed to shipment.
