Sustainability - Euro Pool System

Circularity in motion

At Euro Pool System, circularity is at the heart of our activities. Our trays and digital supply chain services not only help you reduce your carbon footprint but also play a part in shifting towards a circular economy.

Carbon footprint reduction

We’ve made it our goal to reduce our carbon footprint by 20% per movement by 2025. We’re making it happen by managing truck fulfilment, teaming up with local suppliers, using the same carrier for both incoming and outgoing shipments and incorporating alternative transport like rail. As the world around us evolves, we’re always exploring new initiatives.

Resource efficiency and optimal design

Our trays are made from both virgin and recycled HDPE plastic for a durable and long-lasting lifecycle. We’re always innovating with our suppliers to make our trays even better in terms of functionality and toughness. The end result: our foldable trays are the best at protecting your fresh products, beating single-use packaging like cardboard and cutting down on food waste.

Reuse

Our trays are reusable and make multiple rotations a year. Returned trays are checked, washed, sorted and if needed, repaired before a new rotation. They have an average lifespan of more than 7 years, and we monitor them until their end-of-life. Trays that are no longer repairable, are recycled for other purposes.

Transport model

We set up smart, digital systems to return our trays to our service centres, using empty return-trucks whenever we can. This cuts down on empty truck kilometres and saves on transportation costs. Our trays are sturdy, lightweight and foldable, so each truck can load up more trays and less air, slashing the overall CO2 emissions.

Walking the road to a circular supply chain

We’re on a mission to drive efficiency in the fresh supply chain together with our suppliers, customers, and partners. By working together, we’ve made it our goal to reduce the carbon footprint of our reusable trays by 20% in 2025, compared to 2017.

Euro Pool System and LPR: working sustainably together

All of our sustainability efforts at Euro Pool System contribute to Euro Pool Group’s intention to decrease our carbon footprint by 20% in 2025, compared to 2017.
