The reusable plastic containers used in farming-foodstuff distribution have a 20- year useful life cycle and can be reused in up to 100 operations. This means huge environmental advantages, as it enables savings in resources and cutting down waste, according to a study by the Fraunhofer Institute and the University of Stuttgart on the sustainability of packaging systems in Europe.
The companies IFCO SYSTEMS, Euro Pool System and Logifruit, leaders in the sector of reusable container rental in foodstuff distribution, have formed the first Association of Logistics Operators for Reusable Eco-sustainable Items (ARECO), with the aim of promoting the use of this type of containers, which can be reused many times and thus enable major savings in resources.
Las empresas IFCO SYSTEMS, Euro Pool System y Logifruit, líderes del sector de alquiler de envases reutilizables en la distribución alimentaria, han constituido la primera Asociación de Operadores Logísticos de Elementos Reutilizables Ecosostenibles (ARECO), cuyo objetivo es fomentar el uso de este tipo de envases, que permiten numerosas reutilizaciones y, por lo tanto, un mayor ahorro de recursos.
