The Problem

Many window & door manufacturers use disposable wood packaging to transport their expensive products to retailers and dealers nationwide.

With the primary focus of the business on other aspects of the supply chain, many manufacturers don’t have the means or desire to manage the design and recovery logistics of a reusable packaging program.

That's where Reusability can help.

Program Benefits

Cost Savings

You’ll reduce the number of packaging units you'll need to purchase and we 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.

Reduce Waste

Sustainability is at the heart of many corporate missions 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 damage caused by inconsistent single-use, wooden packaging.

Retailer Network

We currently manage assets 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.

Stonger Relationships

Saving money on your packaging could assist in providing lower prices for your retailer and dealer clients. All of this leads to stronger relationships with your customers. In addition, your customers no longer have to incur disposal fees associated with landfilling single-use packaging.

Higher Turns

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.

Time Savings

Manufacturers benefit from not having to build packaging and dealers benefit from not having to tear down single-use packaging, amounting to significant time savings.
