Why package your goods sustainably?

Sustainable packaging and transport of your goods has many advantages:

1. Better for the environment and preserving our planet

Sustainable packaging can be reused, lasts longer, and in many cases can be repaired, making it usable for longer. What's more, it is 100% recyclable. This means you create less waste than with "single-use" packaging, such as boxes and cardboard crates, which can only be used once. That is obviously better for the environment.

2. Cost-effective

Reusable logistics resources are also very attractive from a financial point of view, especially when you choose to rent rather than buy. When you rent, no large investment is required. In addition, you only rent the items you need at that moment and can easily respond to off-peak and peak periods.

What's more, packaging items are not stored in a warehouse waiting for the next peak period. Sustainable packaging also means that all packaging materials produced actually remain in use. Disposing of waste incurs costs. The less waste you create, the lower your costs will be.

3. Your company's image

Society expects companies to do their best to operate in an environmentally responsible manner. This means that choosing reusable logistics resources is good for your company's image.

Cleaning of sustainable packaging

Sustainable packaging also includes cleaning. The items are reused repeatedly, and hygiene is particularly important in the food industry. That is why all these items are cleaned according to very strict ISO standards before they return to your supply chain.
