IFCO is now providing reusable packaging for fruit and vegetables from Aldi Nord and Aldi S\u00fcd across Europe. The Resuable Packaging Containers (RPCs) are also part of a pooling system and are thus recycled after multiple use.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

From a logistical point of view the flat design of the folded IFCO RPCs optimises the capacity of the shipments<\/strong>, which reduces costs and CO2<\/sub>-The carbon footprint of transporting empty RPCs is reduced, while the robust nature of the RPCs ensures more stable and protective palletising and transport of fresh produce.<\/p>

In accordance with the principles of the circular economy and in order to minimise the environmental impact of the switch to IFCO<\/a> To minimise waste, the companies worked together to ensure that the containers from the original Aldi S\u00fcd pool did not end up in the waste. Specifically old containers granulated, processed into new, robust IFCO RPCs<\/strong> and integrated into the IFCO SmartCycle Pooling System to close the loop and avoid waste.<\/p>

\u201eOur priority was to ensure that the switch to IFCO RPCs in the European branches of Aldi Nord and Aldi S\u00fcd was as sustainable as possible. This complex project was a success thanks to the close and innovative collaboration between the teams and our common goals. Together we have achieved a very positive result. We are proud of the customer-centred result, which sets the benchmark for the sustainability of circular models in food retail packaging.\u201d<\/p>
