Who are we?

Offering user-friendly products, we make it easy to optimise retail supply chains with smart solutions. We focus on rental, management and cleaning of reusable load carriers.

Offering user-friendly products, we make it easy to optimise retail supply chains. We encourage the reuse of packaging with our range of reusable load carriers. Our rollies, dollies, crates, trays, minitainers and roll cages are made of recyclable materials and come in standard European sizes. These load carriers make it possible to work quickly and efficiently. The result is better, easier and more sustainable ways for retailers to transport their fast-moving consumer goods anywhere in Europe.

Our rollies, dollies, crates, trays, minitainers and roll cages are made of recyclable materials, have standard sizes and help retailers in Europe to transport fast moving consumer goods. Our products contribute to a circular economy in which we ensure quality and care to deliver optimal user convenience.

Our way of working

We analyze the existing flows and optimize their design. We believe in smart solutions that reduce transport distances and therefore CO2. We always look at how things can be done more sustainably; how can we reduce even more. Also in our cleaning process, attention is paid on working smarter. For example, we work with spinner technology at most of our cleaning facilities. This not only makes the items drier, it also uses less energy.

Our reusables

Our reusable transport items cover every need, from crates to roll containers. Their ergonomic designs with smooth rounded corners ensure they are safe to use. Our rollies and dollies have been specifically developed for transporting modular packaging and carrying point-of-sale displays. Our products contribute to a circular economy in which we ensure quality and care to deliver optimal user convenience. In the Netherlands, we also take care of cleaning of reusable transport items like crates and pallets.

Our mission

It’s our mission to build a sustainable future by stimulating and organizing the efficient re-use of packaging. We do this by managing pools of reusable transport items, and by making them ready for reuse at our cleaning sites.

History

We were founded at the end of 2020 from Container Centralen, a pooling company with 40 years of experience. HB RTS builds on this with fresh eyes. We are a new team of known colleagues, bringing years of experience to the new company. We believe in sustainability and are proud to contribute to the circular economy through stimulating the use of reusable transport items.
