Many companies remain skeptical about Loopipak’s reusable pallet covers. Yet the numbers speak for themselves: single-use packaging represents both a hidden cost and a considerable environmental burden.
Packaging Waste: A Double Loss
Let’s take a concrete example:
- 7 wraps of plastic film represent about 200 g of plastic per pallet.
- With 200 pallets per week, that equals 3 tons of plastic per year.
- At €1 to €3 per pallet, this adds up to thousands of euros wasted every year.
This is a double loss: both economic and environmental.
Calculation in Your Company
Add up your annual invoices for plastic film and cardboard. Divide by the number of pallets or parcels shipped. This gives you your visible costs.
But this is only the tip of the iceberg:
- Hidden financial costs: processing plastic waste can cost several thousand euros per ton.
- Operational costs: wrapping and handling can exceed €50,000 per year, not to mention team demotivation (up to 18% productivity loss).
- Environmental costs: 1 ton of plastic generates 6 tons of CO₂ in production and another 3 tons during incineration (since it is not recycled).
- Regulatory costs: under the PPWR (Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation), reuse becomes mandatory from 2026, with progressive targets through 2040.
PPWR: Reuse Becomes Essential
The new European packaging regulation requires:
- From 12 August 2026: strict thresholds for recyclability and reusability.
- By 2030: 40% of packaging must be reusable.
- In internal logistics and between partners: 100% of packaging must be reusable by 2030 (Article 29.2).
In other words: tomorrow.
