With labour shortages, automated work environments are rapidly increasing in all manufacturing industries. According to the global industrial robotics industry report, about 39% of survey respondents have implemented robotics or automation equipment in their business operations today and an additional 73% expect to do so over the next five years. To support the increased adoption of automation, reusable bulk bins and pallets provide dimensional consistency and repeatable performance for all types of automated systems. The plastic solutions have no loose boards or flaps that can lead to automated system downtime.

Maintenance time takes away from productivity on a plant floor. Reusables help cut maintenance costs related to dust, debris and wood chips, keeping floors and equipment clean while improving workplace aesthetics. Plastic pallets are easy to clean and have a smooth, non-porous surface. The increased hygienic properties make them not only suitable for industrial applications but also for food and beverage industries. A dairy processor in the US cites that one shift (12 hours) a week was needed to clean up the wood pallet shavings, leading to inefficiencies and system downtime. That alone equates to an ROI of 95.000\u20ac a year in damage and labour savings by switching from wood pallets to reusables.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

With consumers increasingly looking to purchase from sustainable brands, it\u2019s important for companies to look back at their supply chain and start at the source.

At the end of the service life, the motto is: recycling, not disposal. Plastic bulk bins and pallets are fully recyclable at the end of their service life.

More and more companies today recognize the benefits of reusables and are open to implementing more sustainable packaging solutions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12502″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” qode_css_animation=”element_from_right” css=”.vc_custom_1659001709369{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff” border_color=”#ffffff” bg_type=”bg_color” z_index=”” bg_color_value=”#ffffff”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text]Plastic reusable packaging is durable and robust by design and can be used multiple times over the course of the service life. ORBIS customers report, that plastic foldable large containers<\/a> are typically used 10 years and more. Proper maintenance and repairability features will prolong its lifespan. The longer a product remains in use, the fewer natural resources are needed. By using high percentages of recycled materials during production, the use of resources can be reduced even further. At the end of the service life, the motto is: recycling, not disposal. Plastic bulk bins and pallets are fully recyclable at the end of their service life. By converting a 3,000-pallet fleet from wood to plastic, a company could expect to reduce waste by 72%, electrical usage by 71% and greenhouse gas emissions by 3.2%.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”12294″ img_size=”700×400″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”element_from_left”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff” border_color=”#ffffff” bg_type=”bg_color” z_index=”” bg_color_value=”#ffffff”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Whether it\u2019s material shortage or rising raw material prices, global supply chains are constantly impacted by disruptions.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a tremendous impact on global supply chains, with 45% of firms surveyed by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) reporting a significant disruptive impact. At the same time, companies are dealing with increasing consumers\u2019 expectations for sustainability initiatives. The supply chain is a good place to start when looking to improve efficiency and sustainability in the business.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
