Accelerating initiatives to overcome pallet supply contains and improve the environmental outcomes of our circular business model, delivering business and sustainability values saved approximately four million pallets through recovery and salvage programmes.  

Low Volume Recovery – CHEP Canada  

The Low Volume Recovery (LVR) program was launched in 2017 in Toronto, with one truck recovering 54,000 pallets. Today the program has expanded to 20 trucks across Canada and in FY22 has recovered over 1.1M pallets from low volume and sometimes remote locations. This project has been very successful at making our operations more efficient, significantly reducing transport costs and CO2 emissions 

Managed Exchange/Managed Recovery (ME/MR) – CHEP North America 

The ME/MR solution, implemented in North America, is offered to customers as an alternative method for sourcing CHEP pallets, improving the circular business model. ME/ MR allows customers to pick up good quality pallets directly from the store or distribution centre, resulting in faster pallet collection, reduced costs, empty miles and improved environmental outcomes.
