Returnable plastic crates are durable containers designed to be reused multiple times for transporting and storing goods, particularly in food, beverage, and retail supply chains. After use, they are returned to a pooling or rental system, where they are cleaned, inspected, and redistributed for reuse. This reduces waste, lowers costs, and supports sustainable, circular supply chain practices.
Yes. Most plastic crates, including those used in pooling and transit, are made from recyclable materials such as high density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP). At the end of their service life, they can be processed and reused to make new crates or other plastic products, supporting a circular and sustainable supply chain.
