RETURNABLE PACKAGING 

The Circular Economy Concept

As leading companies continue to drive sustainability in their business, they start reviewing and optimizing every point of their supply chain. That includes the packaging used to move their product. Today, more and more companies are implementing returnable packaging concepts in order to optimise sustainability and efficiency in their processes. Our team of sustainable packaging experts develops incentives to implement returnable packaging concepts that exceed just saving money and bring a variety of benefits to your company. With returnable plastic load carriers, we follow the circular economy concept, which is based on a continuous flow of material in the value circle.

At ORBIS, sustainability starts right at the manufacturing process. Due to the low-pressure injection moulding process, our plastic load carriers are extremely durable and robust. Added to that, we can use recycled plastics during production. By design, plastic foldable large containers (FLCs) and pallets are reusable multiple times over the course of their service life.

With returnable packaging, you continue saving costs (space optimisation through foldable and stackable design), CO2 (less trucks on the road) and resources (durable design). Life cycle assessments quantify and evaluate the environmental impacts of packaging. In the rare case of damages, you can easily repair our foldable large containers and pallets on site – so that they can stay in use for years to come. That will go easy on your budget – and the environment, too.

Recycle with ORBIS

ORBIS Europe provides alternatives to the disposal of damaged or obsolete plastic packaging: We offer to buyback obsolete containers at the end of their service life. Fostering a circular economy approach, 100% of the plastic raw materials can be recovered, recycled and reprocessed into new useful packaging products. That prevents the plastics from entering the solid waste stream and harming the environment. The motto is: recycling, not disposal.

Every day, we help our customers reduce their overall environmental impact by shifting from steel, wood or one-way packaging to returnable plastic packaging solutions. To improve sustainability and efficiency, we design customised solutions to solve supply chain challenges and execute a reusable packaging program for long-term cost savings and sustainability.
