Environmentally friendly roll container presented
Concepts for more sustainable logistics
Environmentally friendly packaging - that was one of the main topics at this year's FachPack. Walther Faltsysteme presented its first roll container for store and warehouse logistics at the trade fair.
According to the company, the volume of the reusable transport solution is reduced by up to 76 percent, making it particularly efficient to transport when unloaded and saving the user carbon dioxide emissions. The stability of the roll container also contributes to sustainability: Intermediate shelves can currently be inserted into the side rails in five positions and reinforced with clips if required. This means that all transport tasks in the warehouse and in the store can be handled without the use of aids such as disposable stretch film. "The visitors to our stand were very surprised at how significantly sustainability and efficiency can be increased, even with long-established products such as roll containers. Our visitors were particularly impressed by the extremely easy removal of the side rails and the high volume reduction. We achieved this thanks to intensive development work and an in-depth practical check," explains Thomas Walther, Managing Director of Walther Faltsysteme.
Focus on efficient life cycle design
If defects occur in the roll container that cannot be repaired, the base plates are recycled and reused as new. At FachPack, the company used an installation to illustrate the stages of the circular economy of a reusable transport solution using specific product examples: from the conception of an efficient life cycle design, through smart production with zero granulate loss, to upcycling, i.e. reuse in new quality, products designed for a long service life. "The recycling targets and sustainability initiatives of retailers require innovative concepts in the logistics and reusable sector. We address this need with many of our transport solutions. For example, the folding boxes in our Greenline product family are made entirely from renewable plastic," says Thomas Walther.
