The challenge
Making plastic granule storage safer and more efficient
At Jardin, the Dutch plastic furniture manufacturer behind many of Europe’s garden sets and lounge chairs, storing raw materials—plastic granules—was a major operational headache.
For years, they used cardboard octabins to hold these granules, but the system was fraught with issues:
Unstable stacking—filled octabins weighed up to 900 kilos, leading to multiple incidents every year as stacks collapsed. This created a culture of fear on the factory floor.
Not sustainable—octabins had a limited lifespan and couldn't be reused often.
Inefficient use of space—after stacking was prohibited for safety, the octabins consumed too much room, forcing Jardin to rent external storage.
These issues weren’t just logistical—they affected safety, morale, and profitability. Jardin needed a stable, sustainable, space-saving alternative.

"For Jardin, switching to big bags and the Neva system, meant we no longer had to perform additional manual activities to discharge our product on the production line. Moreover, the NEVA system proved to be a lot safer as well."

The indus solution
Neva: Safer stacking and smoother production flow
After testing various alternatives, Mehmet Turkyilmaz, Injection Molding Manager, discovered Indus Neva. Unlike metal frames (too expensive) or loose big bags (unstable), Neva combined stability, safety, and efficiency.
Why Neva works:
Big bags + bowl-shaped bottom deck—perfect for easy, controlled unloading of plastic granules onto production lines. No extra manual handling needed.
Stackable up to three high—without compromising safety, thanks to metal reinforcements in the base.
Safe transport and handling—forklifts move Nevas effortlessly from storage to production.
“Switching to Neva meant we no longer had incidents. The workplace feels safe again,” says Turkyilmaz.
Thorough testing for safety:
Jardin trialed four Nevas, stacking them three high, testing with 15 forklift drivers across shifts. They evaluated stability, robustness, and ease of unloading—ensuring the system improved not only efficiency but also workplace safety.

The Result
Proven benefits:
Incidents dropped significantly—no more collapsing stacks.
Processing time cut by over 80%—placing a Neva on the production line now takes 2 minutes, down from 15 minutes.
Less floor space required—stacking Nevas minimizes the storage footprint.
Durable investment—Jardin purchased 250 Nevas, optimized for 15+ years of use.
“Everyone is still very pleased with this system. It saves time, space, and brings safety back to our workspace,” Turkyilmaz concludes.
Key wins at Jardin:
Safer workplace
Faster production flow
Compact storage
Long-term reliability
