Enjoying fruit and vegetables in a responsible manner – throughout the year
Fruit and vegetables form a major part of the total supermarket turnover and are often representative of the image of a chain’s formula. At the same time, this particular product range requires quite a lot of attention. The same is true for every step throughout its production chain – from produce to presentation. With a good packaging system, it becomes that much easier to manage this important product group.
Modern consumers want to be able to enjoy all sorts of fruit and vegetables, any time of the year. And because growing fruit and vegetables often requires specific circumstances, which are not always possible nearby, transport is inevitable. By packaging products, they are protected against damage and decay. This way, they will reach their destination in perfect condition and completely intact, which would hardly be the case if the produce were transported in bulk. On the other hand, both transport and packaging affect the environment.
The challenge for Green Packaging System – GPS – is to make the chain of fresh produce as efficient and sustainable as possible, in order to allow consumers to enjoy fruit and vegetables in a responsible manner, all year round.
Optimum logistics thanks to standardisation
To get a better grip on the incoming logistics flows, supermarket chains are demanding standardisation in packaging. GPS offers a range of standard cardboard boxes in all production areas, thereby enabling the standardisation of the incoming goods flows for supermarket chains. The development of the new packaging was based on the supermarkets’ logistics chains – and that is why it has led to the best possible solution.
Maximum yield for cardboard waste
Besides providing boxes throughout Europe, we feel it is our job to make sure your paper and cardboard waste is properly recycled. Because paper and cardboard are our primary products, we know where to purchase the best raw materials at the most favourable prices, to make the best possible products for you. And we also know where to take paper and cardboard waste to achieve the highest yield. Our goal is to optimise the recycling process for paper and cardboard. At the lowest possible cost.
