The future of our planet depends on transitioning to a circular model. Unlike the traditional linear economy – in which items are made, used and then discarded – a circular model emphasizes reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling to extend the life cycle of products.
With a focus on circularity, we’re leading the way in reusable packaging containers (RPCs), supporting businesses by providing them with efficient and cost-effective packaging solutions. Since pioneering the RPC pooling system in 1992, we’ve been revolutionizing fresh food delivery efficiency globally, wherever suppliers are based.
Our comprehensive services encompass every aspect of RPC management: from supplying clean containers to producers, to collecting them from retailers and then cleaning and sanitizing them for redistribution. When our RPCs, also known as crates, reach the end of their service life, they are recycled and transformed into new crates, contributing to a continuous loop. This circular process ensures maximum material efficiency and minimal environmental impact.
We’re driven by a belief that, through continuous innovation and trust-based partnerships, we can achieve remarkable results. Our mission is to challenge the status quo, reimagine traditional practices and create positive impact – one crate at a time.
Our ESG Strategy
Advancing through circularity, together
At the core of our commitment to sustainable, circular packaging solutions is our ESG Strategy, Thriving in the Circular Economy. This isn’t just a set of initiatives – it’s the essence of our circular business model. By embracing sustainability and innovation, we’re helping our customers reduce their environmental impact through reusable packaging solutions.
As pioneers in our industry, we are determined to reshape the ESG performance of our business while inspiring others to follow suit.
Our ESG performance is measured over three core pillars – Thriving Business, Thriving Planet and Thriving Society — against the baseline year of 2020. We are making tangible progress towards our goals that amplify our inherent commitment to sustainability.
