Shawn Baldwin, SVP Produce, Floral, Global Food Sourcing — Walmart U.S., also appears to discuss why Walmart chooses to use RPCs. In the interview, he explains:

• RPCs have better ventilation which allows produce to cool faster, and they prevent damage to the product.
• RPCs are ergonomic – they are easier to stack which cuts down on logistics and labor costs.
• RPCs reduce costs long term which allows Walmart to pass that down to their customers.
• RPCs allow Walmart to support their commitment to the environment by producing 85% less waste compared to corrugate alternatives.
