Looking to recycle and reuse your way to a greener supply chain? When it comes to recycled and reconditioned plastic packaging solutions, Plastic Mouldings Northern is ahead of the curve.
Experts predict that the requirement for returnable packaging is set to intensify as businesses across sectors seek sustainable solutions for product transportation, from the boxes, trays, pallets, to containers used to move products through their supply chains.
Returnable packaging solutions have numerous benefits that have made it indispensable to logistics – offering convenience, durability, and cost-effectiveness. The widespread use of single-use plastics has raised concerns surrounding environmental impact – across the board we are seeing a demand for reusable plastic packaging solutions as companies seek to honour their commitment to environmental sustainability goals.
Demand for reusable transport packaging (RTP), as it’s known, increased 66% in 2020 and was expected to rise 88% in 2021 on its way to even higher levels this year, according to the Reusable Packaging Association (RPA).
The landscape of plastic recycling in the UK is evolving rapidly, paving the way for a more sustainable future. The ethos at Plastic Mouldings Northern is to Reuse, Recycle, Repair and as companies gain further momentum and commitment to more eco-friendly practices, recycled and reconditioned pallets have gained great traction in the industry. Thereby shifting towards a circular economy where plastic is re-used or recycled, and not for waste.
It is estimated that there are around five billion pallets in use worldwide, therefore the impact of switching to reconditioned plastic pallets which have a lower carbon footprint compared to other materials, make them a much more environmentally friendly option for supply chains around the world.
Garry Thorpe, Northern Sales Manager, Plastic Mouldings Northern, commented: “As the logistics industry continues to evolve, sustainability remains at the forefront of ongoing initiatives. I liaise on a daily basis with customers, and the thing all businesses share is a commitment to creating a logistics landscape that is efficient, cost-effective and environmentally conscious, especially given our current climate around the cost-of-living crisis.
Here at Plastic Mouldings Northern we are at the forefront of driving cost and efficiency in logistics, and there is a strong appetite across industries for this support.”
