Packaging waste cut

Enabling it to send out 750,000 fewer cardboard and wooden boxes to customers and save hundreds of tonnes of cardboard and paper, Reynolds has implemented a reusable transit packaging (RTP) crate scheme with Schoeller Allibert.

The leading fresh fruit and vegetable supplier to the restaurant and catering industry dispatches 194 delivery vehicles each day. So far, over 1000 of its customers have switched to deliveries with the Maxinest crates, which have an average lifetime Product Carbon Footprint of just 26 kgCO2e for each crate, 68% less than cardboard.

In addition to reducing cardboard waste, using the Maxinest containers helps to improve product cooling, as well as protecting produce in transit.
