Reusable materials in circulation

Cabka-IPS gets the raw materials for its products from plastic used in private households and industry. For example, many of the Eco-Products are made from plastic packaging collected with the Grüner Punkt system. Discarded plastic packaging is processed at Cabka-IPS recycling facilities and forms the basis for the production of new products. 

In the design of its products, Cabka-IPS is taking steps to ensure that they can be put back into a technical circuit. An example is the company’s partnership with Dutch pallet pool Dranken Pallet Beheer which uses 400,000 pallets (model BPP i9). At the end of their life span, Cabka-IPS recycles these and uses them as raw material to produce new BPP i9 pallets. In this way, Cabka-IPS makes sure that reusable materials are kept in a closed ecological circuit and the environment is protected.

Cabka-IPS also designs other pallets, such as the Retail E5 and Heilbronner H7, so that they can be reprocessed at the end of their life and used in other ways.
