Cardboard waste reduced
24 May 2013
Food service distributor, Delifresh, is reported to have achieved an 80% reduction in cardboard use since it introduced a reusable transit packaging (RTP) system from Schoeller Allibert.

Following the decision to reduce the use of single trip cardboard packaging, Delifresh is now using over 3000 Maxinest stack nest containers to deliver fresh produce, delicatessen, dairy goods and ambient dry store products to kitchens in hotels and restaurants throughout the UK.
Products are picked and packed into the Maxinest containers for onward deliveries to customers, where empty containers are brought back for refilling. Other containers are used to decant products into from suppliers, ready to be picked for customer orders.
The Maxinest has been designed to offer a cost-effective way of delivering fresh produce with crates that have been designed to meet the food processing and grocery industry’s strict requirements for quality, durability and care for the environment.
