Plastic boxes

Plastic boxes are widely used in the food industry nowadays for storage of packed food products.
These boxes are washed and than used again.
Can anybody tell me what microbiological state to expect after washing and how wear and tear is of influence on this.

Anyone use plastic boxes?

Can anybody tell me what microbiological state to expect after washing and how wear and tear is of influence on this.

Just test them using rodacs or something. Then you can decide...
Most (dish)washing maschines are microbe multiplier and we find microbes on plastic material very often. For efficient cleaning you need the right temperatures, chemicals and time. Validation is necessary!

You can send me a message, if you need a specialist

Okido, I suppose that depends mostly on what kinda stuff you're going to put inside the boxes.
