Abstract
A composite container which consists of a reusable pallet, a thin walled plastic tank and a reinforcing cardboard shell maintaining the tank in an upright position on the pallet. Plastic clips connect the shell to the pallet and enable easy assembly and disassembly of the container. Additionally, a dry break valve is incorporated in the container so as to prevent material leakage and enable easy discharge of the tank contents on an intermittent basis.
