Schoeller Arca Systems has long been associated with returnable plastic packaging solutions, offering perhaps the widest and most cost-effective range in the industry, taking in everything from bulk bins for root vegetables through to small trays for exotic fruit.
In fact, whatever the challenge this innovative, customer-focused company can help to ensure that all produce arrives at its destination in perfect condition – and with significant cost savings.
The reason for this is simple: all of Schoeller Arca Systems’ plastic packaging is re-useable, which is becoming increasingly important in the current economic climate. So whilst there is an initial outlay, this is recovered very quickly and then savings are made on an ongoing basis. Indeed, at a time when companies are looking to save money, Schoeller Arca Systems offer a fairly easy way to do so.
Plastic pallets, foldable small containers, foldable large containers for bulk and liquids, stackable, nestable containers, and even beverage crates are all within the company’s portfolio. For the transport of delicate and easily spoilt items such as fresh produce, Schoeller Arca Systems says, plastic cannot be beaten.
It is, for instance, easy to keep clean and, unlike cardboard and wood, lends itself very easily to
re-use. Returnable plastic packaging is already very popular amongst major retailers in mainland Europe and UK, as any visit to your local supermarket will confirm with food retailers using a range of plastic bail arm containers in virtually all supermarkets for ambient food and fresh produce items.
There are very clear benefits and those benefits increase when you realise that Schoeller Arca Systems has several manufacturing facilities, for example, in Murcia, Spain, for customers who, import produce into UK during the winter months, who can take delivery of Schoeller Arca’s products in Spain and thus not pay any charges for delivery back to Britain.
Schoeller Arca Systems worldwide employs over 800 staff, with 15 production facilities and operates in 50 different countries. With Head Office based in the Netherlands, Schoeller Arca traces its history all the way back to the 1950s.
The popularity of returnable plastic packaging is growing dramatically. Demand is triggered primarily for cost efficiency reasons, but environmental issues are also a driving force. It is clear the world’s ecosystem cannot support the amount of waste that we are generating, particularly with recycling being regularly abandoned in favour of waste destruction.
Schoeller Arca Systems offer all necessary recycling services to its clients and can take care of collecting, recycling and re-using packaging units that are up for renewal. This ensures a truly sustainable use of natural resources.
