Agasanduku ko gupakira ibiryo, nk'uko izina ribisobanura, gakoreshwa mu gupakira ibiryo, gashobora gushyirwa mu byiciro hakurikijwe ibikoresho nka: agasanduku k'imbaho, agasanduku k'impapuro, agasanduku k'imyenda, agasanduku k'uruhu, agasanduku k'icyuma, agasanduku ko gupakira kari mu gikoresho, nibindi, gashobora kandi gushyirwa mu byiciro hakurikijwe izina ry'ibicuruzwa nka: agasanduku k'impano, agasanduku ka divayi, agasanduku ka shokora, agasanduku k'ikaramu, agasanduku ko gupakira ibiryo, agasanduku ko gupakira icyayi, nibindi. Ubu kahindutse udusanduku dukozwe mu mbaho, impapuro n'ibindi bikoresho bivanze. Imikorere y'agasanduku ko gupakira: kugenzura umutekano w'ibiryo mu gutwara, kunoza urwego rw'ibicuruzwa, nibindi. Intego y'agasanduku ko gupakira ibiryo ahanini ni ukurinda ibiryo ingaruka z'ibintu bikomoka ku mikorobe n'ibinyabutabire, kugira ngo harebwe ko imiterere y'imirire n'ubwiza bw'ibiryo idahinduka, kugira ngo harinde ubuzima bw'abaguzi. Byongeye kandi, ibiryo bipfunyitse bitanga uburyo bwinshi bwo gutwara, kubika, kugurisha no gukoresha, mu gihe bitera imbere kugurisha. Gupakira ibiryo neza bishobora kongera igihe cyo kubibika no kumara igihe kirekire, kandi bigabanya cyane uburyo ibiryo byangiritse. Ibintu bigira ingaruka ku bwiza bw'ibiryo ni: - urumuri; Icya kabiri ni ubushyuhe; Icya gatatu ni ogisijeni; Icya kane ni ubushuhe; Icya gatanu, mikorobe. Ukurikije umusaruro w'ibiribwa, kugurisha no gukoresha, intego y'agasanduku ko gupfunyikamo ibiryo ni iyi: – ni ukwirinda kwangirika, kugenzura ubuziranenge; Ubwa kabiri ni ukwirinda ihumana rya mikorobe n'umukungugu; Icya gatatu, gusobanura no kwihutisha umusaruro w'ibiribwa; Icya kane, ni byiza gutwara no gutembera neza kw'ibiryo; Icya gatanu, kongera agaciro k'ibicuruzwa by'ibiribwa. Agasanduku ko gupfunyikamo ibiryo hakurikijwe imiterere yabyo, kagabanyijemo polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride n'ubundi bwoko, polyethylene, polypropylene ni pulasitiki yizewe, ishobora gukoreshwa mu kubika ibiryo. Udusanduku twa pulasitiki twa foam dukoreshwa mu ifuro Izina ryuzuye ni agasanduku k'ibiribwa bya polystyrene kakozwe rimwe, ibikoresho by'ingenzi ni polystyrene n'ibikoresho bifuro, polystyrene ni polimeri za styrene, bigera kuri dogere selisiyusi 65, hazabaho imiterere y'ubusa bwa styrene no kwimuka kw'ibintu byangiza byitwa dioxins, byangiza umubiri w'umuntu. Byongeye kandi, ibikoresho bifukura ni ubwoko bw'ibikoresho byangiza umubiri w'umuntu. Amwe mu masanduku y'ibiribwa yo gutwaramo anyuranyije n'amahame y'igihugu agenga imirire azatanga impumuro mbi iyo yuzuyemo ibiryo bishyushye, ari byo bintu by'uburozi biva mu masanduku y'ibiribwa ya pulasitiki arimo ifuro. Ibi bintu bizangiza uturemangingo tw'imitsi yo mu mutwe w'umuntu kandi bikabangamira ubuzima bw'abantu cyane.
