Australian vegetable growers are taking advantage of reusable and recyclable packaging to cut transport costs and packaging waste.
Growers have found that these cost and waste savings can be significant.
Using reusable and recyclable CHEP FB2 Foldable Plastic Bins, Gazzola Farms on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula can now load a semi-trailer with 200 empty bins, compared to just 60 with its former packaging.
Featuring fold-down sizes and vented side panels for maximum air flow, the plastic FB2 cuts cardboard waste and allows for safe and efficient handling of produce.
Sustainability
According to CHEP Asia-Pacific, the trend to green packaging has been driving strong uptake of the reusable FB2 Foldable Bin.
The Foldable Bin offers environmental benefits by promoting a sustainable culture of Reduce — Reuse — Recycle.
In addition, it can be fully reground and recycled at the end of its 10-year lifecycle.
Through CHEP’s reusable, returnable packaging service, growers receive the exact quantity of bins they need, when they need them, without the hassle or cost of their own repairs and maintenance.
Special offer
Until 29 February 2008, new applicants and first time hirers of FB2 Foldable Plastic Bins are being offered a special discount.
