Why one-trip packaging is costing your business
The use of returnable transit packaging is soaring as companies refocus on supply chain sustainability and changes in waste management legislation.
One-trip packaging, like cardboard boxes, is falling out of favour amidst rising costs and greater eco-awareness as more companies strive to become carbon neutral and zero waste businesses.
Many companies are recognising that they can apply ‘circular economy’ within their business by working with suppliers to make efficient use of resources.
Returnable transit packaging (RTP) is now the carrier of choice for transporting and storing a huge range of products. The range is extensive too, covering handheld products, maxinests, bulk containers, pallet boxes, dolavs, plastic pallets and dollies.
RTP rental and wash services, in particular, have seen a surge in demand as a result. Renting RTP products across all market sectors for seasonality demand and JIT (Just in Time), in the quantities needed, allows businesses to be flexible and adapt to changing demands, whilst keeping costs and their environmental impact to a minimum. It also removes the need for repairs and maintenance, problems with equipment loss, waste management costs and any storage issues.
phs Teacrate is the UK’s leading provider of high quality, recycled plastic crates for rental or purchase. Its range of trackable barcoded crates allows customers to have increased visibility during transport, which is particularly important for multiple locations or drop-offs.
In addition, Teacrate also offer a hygienic crate washing service to all market sectors, with washing sites located across the UK. The team at phs Teacrate collects the crates when the customer no longer requires them and returns them to the pool for a stringent inspection and wash, prolonging their life so that they can be safely used time and time again.
Its state-of-the-art washing facilities have the capability to clean all types of RTP equipment, including handheld products, bulk containers and plastic pallets. Once collected, all evidence of labelling and soiling is removed by the team before washing. Every RTP then goes through a rigorous quality assurance check and is swab tested and shrink wrapped ready for delivery.
phs Teacrate has an extensive range of returnable transit packaging products available in stock and ready for delivery next day to any specified location at an agreed time. All equipment arrives hygienically clean and ready to use.
With collection and delivery included, it is easy to see why the extensive range of RTP products from phs Teacrate are the only choice for greater efficiency, improved sustainability, and reduced costs.
