Reusable Packaging Programs

There are many industries today where manufacturers still leverage disposable packaging for shipping expensive products nationwide to retailers and dealers. Disposable packaging is not only unfriendly to the environment, but also the cost doesn’t outweigh the benefit when you factor in the damage that often happens to products shipped this way.

We help industries convert from disposable packaging to reusable packaging for shipments to retailers and providers. For 20+ years, we’ve supplied rental racks and recovery to the nursery industry. Managing 100,000+ of our own assets, we complete over 500,000 recoveries annually at 10,000+ retailers in our network.

  • Printed Media Distribution
  • Retail & Supermarkets

No matter where you are in your reusable packaging journey, we have a customized solution for you.

Design

 

We partner with the best reusable packaging design firms to develop eco-friendly, durable, and cost-effective packaging for our customers. If you don't have reusable packaging, we leverage our consulting expertise to help in design and development. If you have an existing design but are looking for improvement, we share best practices to enhance your existing design. 

Manage

 

When our partners ship their reusable packaging to retailers and dealers, our proprietary software enables them to track and manage their assets and see the economic and environmental impact of their reusable packaging programs.

 

We manage hundreds of thousands of our own assets so we know what it takes to manage successful programs.

Recover

 

Leveraging our expertise in recovery, we handle the management and pick-up of all reusable packaging assets. With our 40+ strategically placed facilities nationwide, we handle all logistics of asset recovery including full inspection and quality assurance. We also assist with refurbishment solutions, product sorting, kitting, repackaging, warehousing, recycling and storage solutions.

With Reusability, manufacturers save up to 50% on their packaging costs over 3 years.

Program Benefits

Cost Savings

You’ll reduce the number of units purchased with reusable packaging, and Reusability will handle the processing and pick up. This means you’ll save on labor and logistics cost. On average, our programs have a 13-month payback period.

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of many corporations today. Reusable packaging means no more wood going to landfills, less energy used, and less total greenhouse gas emissions.

Safer Choice

You’ll improve your workplace safety by eliminating the workplace injuries experienced with disposable wooden packaging. No more need to build and tear-down single-use packaging or handle broken debris.

Product Protection

Reusable packaging is durable and sturdy, and designed specifically for your product. Moving to reusables reduces the frequent damages that are caused by inconsistent single-use, wooden packaging.

Retailer Network

We currently manage assets that are sent to some of the largest retailers in the world, including The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Sam’s Club and more. We will support you on a national scale when it comes to recovering reusable packaging.

Higher Turns & Efficiencies

Our accurate pickups save clients over 30% with faster turnover. The shape of reusable packaging often allows for better utilization of trucks, as units can often be stacked. This means improved logistics and transportation efficiencies, which result in fewer trips and reduced fuel costs.

How Reusable Packaging Programs Work

No matter where you are in your reusable journey, our multi-step management process ensures you see the ROI of reusable packaging with as little capital outlay as possible.

1

Packaging Development: If you don't already have reusable packaging, we connect you to one of our design partners who will create options, financial analysis benchmarks, and prototype development of a returnable solution for your products.

Shipment: Once packaging is designed and developed, customers ship their product in reusable packaging, which they own or rent, to their customers (Dealers, OEMs, Distributors, Retailers, Installers) and inform us of where they ship.

“…For retailers, environmental concerns are top of mind. Any product brought into stores- in boxes, crates, racks, whatever- they prefer to see that packing material immediately taken away for reuse. I know The Home Depot and Costco have so many environmental concerns, they want solutions so that they do not have to worry about a product’s packaging being put in the dumpster…”
