Reusable instead of disposable: this is the strategy pursued by the food discounter Norma to make its supply chain more sustainable. By using reusable transport packaging from IFCO, Norma was able to save more than 4,175 tonnes of CO2 in 2025.
The decision to use reusable packaging is part of a wider approach by Norma to minimise the environmental impact of its business activities. The use of IFCO reusable crates makes it possible to significantly reduce the amount of single-use packaging and thus reduce the carbon footprint of the supply chain. This measure is particularly important in the fresh produce sector, where packaging plays a central role in logistics.
Cooperation with IFCO
The collaboration with IFCO, a leading provider of reusable packaging solutions, has enabled Norma to further advance its sustainability goals. IFCO offers a wide range of reusable packaging specifically designed for the transport of food. This packaging is not only robust and durable, but also designed to preserve the freshness and quality of the products.
Positive balance for 2025
The sustainability balance for 2025 shows that the use of reusable packaging not only has ecological advantages, but also economic ones. By reducing single-use packaging, companies like Norma can save costs in the long term and contribute to environmental protection at the same time. The CO2 savings are also a significant step towards a more climate-friendly supply chain.
The use of reusable packaging is to be further expanded in the future. The cooperation with IFCO will play a central role in developing and implementing innovative and environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
