Wooden coreboxes are a liability.

For decades you’ve stacked wooden coreboxes. They soak up water. They break handles. They cost a fortune to transport and replace. Your samples are exposed. Your budget leaks.

They are costing you money.

You replace hundreds of them every year. You’re paying more per use than a skip hire. You’re paying by the hour for waste. That ends now.

And there is an easy solution.

Meet the RhinoCorebox - built from recycled polypropylene, stackable for efficiency, engineered to over twenty-five-times the lifespan of wood and available in two size variations. Store smarter.

Ten reasons why RhinoCorebox can help you.

01.

Over 90% cheaper per use

On average, wooden coreboxes die after just four uses costing, you £4 per use. RhinoCoreboxes can be used upwards of 100 (yes, ONE HUNDRED) times. Around 30p per use. Now that is ROI.

02.

Easy to clean

Contamination ruins samples. Wood soaks them up and can pass them on - plastic shrugs it off. Just jet-wash RhinoCoreboxes and reuse. Fast turnaround, no waste, no cross-contamination.

03.

Recyclable and PFAS free

RhinoCorebox isn’t just recyclable, it’s officially certified and PFAS free. Backed by a third-party Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) in line with ISO 14025 and EN 15804, it proves its carbon footprint, recycled content, and end-of-life recyclability.

04.

Built to outlast your budget cycle

These boxes are designed to take real punishment and aren’t one-and-done consumables. RhinoCoreboxes survive the on-site abuse, the elements, and your entire site schedule - again and again.

05.

Core security

Your core samples are the whole point of the job - so why are you still storing them in unstable, ill-fitting wooden boxes? RhinoCoreboxes hold your samples firmly in place with internal supports that stop movement and prevent damage, even during transport.

06.

Storage and transport

In comparison to clunky, flimsy wooden boxes, empty RhinoCoreboxes save you 300% on transport costs and up to 300% in empty storage costs. That means more space in your stores for equipment and gear and massive cost reduction on getting boxes to site. Spacious savings.

07.

Zero waste

100% recycled. 100% recyclable. Zero landfill. Just circular economy principles applied, without compromise. If sustainability matters on your project sheet - this is how you tick that box.

08.

Ergonomic engineering

We’ve done away with the splinters, rope burns from string handles and awkward grips. RhinoCoreboxes are shaped with real people in mind, featuring built-in rounded handles designed for a human hand.

09.

Lightweight but robust

Despite being tough enough to take a beating, RhinoCoreboxes are far lighter than wood. That means less physical effort, fewer lifting injuries, and a more efficient day’s work.

10.

Jenga stacking

RhinoCoreboxes feature a unique interlocking stack design that mimics the stability of a jenga tower — minus the risk of collapse. Whether full or empty, they stay locked in place during transport and on-site storage, cutting accident risk and tidying up your yard.

What our customers say about RhinoCorebox

Change is hard. Unless it makes you more money and less mess.

When Igne - a major player in the ground investigation space - reviewed their site operations, one thing stood out as a consistent source of cost, clutter, and complaint: the wooden corebox.

The solution? Switching to RhinoCorebox.

Not as a token gesture, but as a deliberate move to cut waste, reduce manual handling risks, and make sample storage something they could actually trust.

What happened next? Improved safety. Smoother logistics. Fewer replacements. And a team that could finally stop treating coreboxes as disposable junk.

  • No more broken boxes.
  • No more dodgy string handles.
  • No more wasted time or money.

Simpler. Safer. Faster. Smarter. Greener.

Revolutionising core handling and storage.

For as long as anyone can remember the ground investigation industry has been reliant on wooden coreboxes to service its need for transporting and storing samples obtained on site. Issues of manual handling, space during transportation and poor use life-cycle has led to an estimated 100,000 wooden coreboxes being cycled through in the UK alone, with an approximate replacement rate of around 20% per annum.

RhinoCorebox has been developed by industry experts to tackle these issues.

Nowadays the ability to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle represents an important measure of product sustainability. With their limited number of uses and limited recycling capacity, wooden coreboxes are not the sustainable solution. Made from recycled polypropylene, RhinoCorebox lasts over five times longer than wooden coreboxes, and once they have reached the end of their useful life, they can be recycled alongside general household plastics, or sold back into the recycling market for cash.
