I IFCO SYSTEMS’ NEW RPC GENERATION
16
In close cooperation with the manufacturers of our RPCs, as
well as our customers, we are continuously optimizing our
RPCs in terms of their technical characteristics, stability and
design. This ensures constant quality enhancement, as well
as advancing the development of new applications. Examples
in point are the latest RPC generation launched in Europe,
the “IFCO Green Plus” line, as well as the state-of-the-art
generation of RPCs which has been rolled out in the US market.
The design of the new IFCO SYSTEMS RPC generations
further improve the perishability and damage rates of produce
through their enhanced design and markedly reduces the
container damage rate. The lower folded height of the new units
increases their volume per pallet significantly, further reducing
our transport costs and providing labor savings for our business
partners.
IFCO SYSTEMS’ RPCS – HIGH QUALITY COMBINED
WITH LOW COSTS
Our logistics management expertise and RPC design guarantee
that the high quality of clients' goods is retained, while reducing
costs throughout the entire supply chain. We provide support for
the efficient organization of goods and product cycles, thereby
creating further cost advantages for our customers.
The practical value to everyone lies in the benefits of the global
supply chain and the satisfaction of the customer.
Our RPCs make prudent and sparing use of natural resources
and represent an efficient contribution to the protection of our
environment. In opting for our products, customers are also
making a valuable contribution to environmental protection, while
at the same time eliminating disposal costs.
Below are some of the advantages which make our Reusable
Plastic Containers superior to traditional packaging:
