Vee Technologies’ Approach to

Returnable Packaging

Contact Us

With landfills growing, micro and macroplastics leaking into waterways, and pollution worsening, the topic of packaging waste has taken center stage. Nearly 30% of landfill content today is plastic and other packaging waste. The best way to reduce this packaging waste is by investing in returnable packaging. This reduces waste and resource consumption, eliminating costs. The most significant advantage is reducing CO2 emissions, thereby alleviating the effects of pollution on the environment.

With the current advanced automotive revolution, we have a serious challenge in managing the movement of automotive components inside the plant site or to an external vendor for processing. The safety of the automotive components (which directly affects the vehicles) is also a very important factor to be considered. A few components cannot be compromised with; if they have scratches or damage, it might affect the performance of the vehicle or the rider’s safety. Conventional packaging methods have proved to be non-environmentally friendly and have adverse effects on trees, wildlife, and the aquatic world. Moreover, the cost involved in building new packaging solutions will be nonviable. Storage of these packages will create space constraints and can be very tedious to manage. Reusable packaging solutions eliminate all these issues and help to keep the world safe.

Returnable packaging can be a closed-loop system or can be a system with a full load or empty load solution. The use of collapsible packaging makes it a cost-effective solution because of the low logistics costs involved. Keeping track of the containers is also a major challenge in optimizing the cost and economics of returnable packaging solutions. The more cycles the containers move, the better the ROI.

Returnable packaging and reusable packaging are cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternatives for clients with an extensive flow of goods and a limited number of distribution points. Returnable packaging solutions use multiple raw materials for the required application.

Possible Materials Include:

  • Steel
  • Wood
  • Textile
  • Special foams (HDPE, XLPE, UHMWPE, EPP, TPU)

The inner design of the packaging is of utmost importance for the safe transportation of a product. The designs can be comprised of reusable pallets, racks, bulk containers, hand-held containers, and dunnage that move products efficiently and safely throughout the supply chain. For sustainable packaging, we should be using materials that are reusable, recyclable, and decomposable. The designs should be long-lasting and competitive in the market.
