## Abstract

The invention herein is related to the recycling industry in general, it is specifically related to a plastic container, preferably made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which can be molded, preferably, through blown air, defined by a back face, a front face, two lateral face, a lower face and an upper face, the multipurpose jaba-type agricultural container, and its manufacturing process, is cut manually or with a machine, and the front face is removed, to define an internal cavity and form the jabs-type container defined by a back wall and four perimeter walls, it has enough resistance to hold the weight of the products it contains, it also has a perimeter tab, on the external face of the lower edge, which allows the vertical stacking of several containers, with enough strength to evenly fold the weight, when being stacked, such container also contains several vertical ribs on the perimeter walls, and a main perimeter rib used as reinforcement elements, as well as holes on the sides that allow the release of gas generated by the products inside the container.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A multipurpose jaba-type agricultural container formed by a rectangular prism-shaped container or body, in the shape of a drum, with different weights, sized and thicknesses, characterized by that rectangular prism-shaped body being obtained through blow injection or blow extrusion molding of polymer materials, which is defined by a back face, a front face, two lateral faces, a lower face and an upper face, whose front face is removed to define an internal cavity and form a jabs-type container defined by a bottom wall ((back face) and perimeter walls (lateral, upper and lower faces), comprising several vertical ribs on the perimeter walls, and a main perimeter rib used as reinforcement elements.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The multipurpose jaba-type agricultural container, according to claim 1, characterized by the bottom wall of such container containing a grid formed by several intertwined ribs, defining elements that provide greater structural resistance.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The multipurpose jaba-type agricultural container, according to claim 1, characterized by also containing several holes, slots or bores in different shapes on its back wall and/or the perimeter walls, in order to allow the release of gas inside the container to the outside and/or for venting.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The multipurpose jaba-type agricultural container and its manufacturing process, according to claim 1, characterized by the back wall having a protrusion, on the outer face, defining a perimeter support tab to vertically stack several containers.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The multipurpose jaba-type agricultural container, according to claim 1, characterized also for having several cavities or hollows on all opposite perimeter walls, as fixation methods to move the container from one place to the other.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

A manufacturing process for a multipurpose jabs-type agricultural container according to claim 1, characterized by comprising the following stages: recycled PET selection and treatment, crushing, washing and drying, extrusion, generation of a preform or parison, molding through injection blow or extrusion blow, generation of a rectangular prism-shaped body, cutting and removing the front face of the rectangular prism-shaped body to generate a jabs-type container, and making holes on the perimeter and/or back walls.
