ABSTRACT:
A method for repairing and reinforcing a torn plastic tote is provided. The edges of the tears are bevelled and the tears are then welded with a plastic material which is of the same type as the material from which the plastic tote is made. A strip of plastic material is formed into a closed loop by welding the ends of the loop together. The loop is placed around the upstanding walls, preferably around the upper edge thereof and the loop is then spot welded to the upstanding walls. In an alternative embodiment, only a loop is placed around the tote and the tears are not welded.
