Circular load carriers for more sustainable supply chains
With the planned Industrial Accelerator Act, the European Union wants to accelerate the transformation of industry towards low-carbon production processes and resource-efficient supply chains. Logistics and transportation are also increasingly coming into focus. Efficient reusable systems can help to reduce emissions along the supply chain and make better use of resources.
The open EPAL exchange system, in which more than 650 million Euro pallets circulate worldwide, is a striking example of an established reusable model in logistics. Euro pallets are made of wood from certified forestry, are designed for long-term circulation and can be repaired several times.
"The decarbonization of industry does not end at the factory gate. Logistics processes also play an important role when it comes to reducing emissions and using resources efficiently," says Suzane Giurlando, Managing Director of EPAL Germany. "Reusable systems such as the EPAL pallet pool help companies to organize transport processes more sustainably while remaining economically efficient."
Save resources with standardized reusable carriers
Standardized and durable load carriers can reduce material usage, transport costs and waste. At the same time, repair and reuse support key principles of the circular economy - an approach that is becoming increasingly important in the context of European industrial and climate policy. Against the backdrop of growing demands for climate protection, resource efficiency and resilient supply chains, reusable systems are thus becoming an important component of sustainable industrial value creation.
