Crate repair service
Crate rental specialist Pluscrates has launched a new crate repair service to support the rapidly increasing use of returnable transit packaging (RTP) by major retailers and supermarkets.
With an estimated 100,000 crates, or totes being scrapped due to damage every year, Pluscrates believes the new service will be popular with customers keen to reduce waste and protect their bottom line.
The repair service includes collection of damaged totes from the customer’s premises and their return. Any totes that cannot be economically repaired using a ‘speed welding’ technique are responsibly recycled, so nothing is wasted. On average the cost of repairing and recycling equates to around half that of purchasing new stock, thereby reducing overheads and the impact on the environment.
