Waste .Reduction Reuse of Transport Packaging - The use of reusable transport packaging is in specific circumstances, an effective way of encouraging a reduction in waste generation. Modelo Continente led the introduction of the “Single Crate” into the supply chain of fruits and vegetables in the retail sector in Portugal. The “Single Crate” has Environmental Advantages, namely in terms of optimising transport and reducing waste generation. It is also made of recyclable plastic. At the end of 2006, 181 fruit and vegetable suppliers were using this new packaging, equal to the transport of an average of 684 thousand crates each month along the supply chain, an increase of 8% over 2005. The reusable crates are also being used for the supply of meat and fish to stores. In 2006, approximately 95% of meat and 70% of fresh fish was being transported in these reusable crates.
