Returnable transit packaging (RTP) is replacing one-trip packaging as the preferred carrier for transporting and storing a wide range of products. The re-use of packaging provides clear economic, social and environmental benefits across the entire supply chain. Cost and efficiency savings Businesses see increased efficiency and reduced costs as a result of introducing re-useable plastic packaging into their processes. Durable plastic RTP products are specifically designed for multiple trips over an extended life. They offer an excellent return on investment and - with no waste disposal costs to consider - a lower cost-per-trip than single trip packaging products. Plastic containers and trays nest when empty and so offer space savings in warehousing and in transit. In turn they require fewer journeys, contributing to lower transportation costs. Superior protection and security The strength and rigidity of plastic helps protect goods against knocks, and it is resistant to moisture and other contaminants such as mould or dust. Attached lidded containers offer extra protection and also provide tamper-evident security sealing systems. Environmental sustainability Over its lifecycle, a plastic container has a significantly lower carbon footprint than its cardboard equivalent. Re-usable plastic containers have a lifespan of many years and at the end of their life can be recycled into new plastic containers. Safe and easy handling With ergonomic handles, smooth surfaces and rounded corners, plastic containers present a low risk of injury to operatives. Plastic containers are also specially designed for secure stacking when in storage and transit.
