Closing our product loops by recycling valuable materials
27,018 kilograms of damaged plastic products reground and remoulded back into new IFCO and CHEP products
In FY16, Brambles purchased over 93,000 tonnes of plastic for the manufacture of reusable plastic pallets, crates and containers. This includes FY16 plastic data from our CHEP RPCs and Containers businesses for the first time.
In FY16, 27,018 kilograms of damaged plastic products was sent back to our product manufacturers, where it was reground and remoulded back into new IFCO and CHEP products. This eliminates plastic waste, and reduces materials costs and demand for virgin plastic resin. Our procedures allow the reuse of reclaimed plastics while maintaining stringent product quality and hygiene standards.
Our RPCs and Containers businesses purchase plastic for their new reusable products. In FY16, we advanced further towards closing our product loops. Recycling our own products, eliminates plastic waste, and reduces materials costs and demand for virgin plastic resin. Our procedures allow the reuse of reclaimed plastics while maintaining stringent product quality and hygiene standards.
