RETURNABLE TRANSPORT PACKAGING (RTP)

Returnable Transport Packaging (RTP) is a reusable packaging solution that replaces single-use corrugated cardboard and paves the way for a circular logistics model. 

The future of logistics

Built for tomorrow’s requirements

To meet the EU’s PPWR Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, our concept offers an innovative and efficient alternative. Also, helping businesses avoid future penalties for non-compliant packaging.

Reduce costs and boost efficiency

If you ship 1,000 EUR pallets per week, renting our packaging can save you
over 100.000 euros annually. And if you’ve previously been unable to double-stack, our concept enables more efficient logistics — unlocking additional savings of up to 1.1 million euros per year, based on a pallet space cost of €50.

Build-up

Our packaging concept is both time-saving and ergonomically beneficial, as it is easier to apply than traditional corrugated cardboard boxes. It is also designed to fit multiple pallet types in various sizes. The packaging can be double-tacked in trucks, which reduces transport costs, and it can also be triple-stacked in warehouses, which reduces storage costs.

RTP fits all pallet types and dimensions, making it a universal solution for modern logistics.

EU & PPWR – why is it important?

What does PPWR mean for transport companies?

PPWR sets the standard for transport packaging across the entire value chain. Only packaging that meets EU requirements for design and materials is allowed. Single-use packaging is being phased out in favor of reusable solutions such as crates, boxes, and pallets. Requirements for sorting, recycling, and documentation are becoming stricter, placing clear responsibility throughout the supply chain—non-compliance may result in penalties.

In short: less single-use, more reuse, and clear accountability for regulatory compliance.

All packaging must be properly designed and either reusable or recyclable.

What does PPWR mean for product owners?

PPWR is transforming the entire packaging landscape in the EU market, setting clear requirements for all customers shipping goods. All transport packaging must comply with EU rules on design, materials, and recyclability or reuse. Single-use packaging is being gradually phased out, meaning customers need to rethink and invest in smarter, sustainable, and reusable solutions.

Customers must reduce unnecessary or oversized packaging, redesign packaging to enable recycling or reuse, and establish collaborations with transport providers for return systems, reuse, and proper waste management. Non-compliance or the use of non-approved packaging can lead to increased costs and liabilities throughout the supply chain.

PPWR makes both customers and transporters jointly responsible for the entire flow, from production and transport to recycling and reuse. It’s not just about regulatory compliance; it’s about sustainability, cost efficiency, and long-term competitiveness.
