Closed-Loop Packaging
Replacing single-use corrugated cases with a durable returnable system cuts waste at the source, while maintaining the same pack counts and shipping efficiency your line already runs on.
How the Closed Loop Works
An organized return program keeps returnable packaging circulating between your manufacturing and filling facilities, so the same units are reused shipment after shipment.
Ship
Products move from the manufacturing facility to the filling facility in durable returnable packaging.
Unload
The filling facility unloads product using the same automated equipment already in place.
Return
Empty packaging is collected and routed back through an organized reverse logistics program.
Reuse
Packaging is inspected and put back into circulation for the next recurring shipment.
