There is a lack of clean drinking water in the regions of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia that have been severely affected by the flood disaster. This is where Schütz is now providing support with its Foodcert IBCs: the company has already provided over 1,000 containers free of charge to the THW, fire brigades and the German Armed Forces.
They serve as storage tanks for drinking water in crisis areas and are used, among other things, as high-performance, mobile treatment plants. The IBCs are also used by the THW crisis centre at the Nürburgring. Germany's oldest race track is now a relief centre for the victims of the flood disaster. A total area of 60,000 square metres and the entire infrastructure of the circuit are available for appropriate measures.
Schütz is also drawing on its many years of experience working with Water Mission for this project. Since 2008, the non-profit aid organisation has been using the packaging specialist's IBCs to deliver treated water to the affected population in the event of natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes and earthquakes around the world.
