Currently, foodstuffs are packaged in disposable packaging, such as cardboard, wooden and plastic crates or polystyrene crates. Retailers waste time dealing with packaging waste, have little storage space and end up throwing everything away. Pandobac offers the opportunity to switch from single-use packaging to reusable for B2B food delivery. It is a turnkey solution including reusable crate rental and additional services to ensure reuse. The solution is built around 3 pillars: the rental of reusable crates that comply with food standards, a hygienic washing service and a web and mobile tracking application. For the whole service, Pandobac charges producers and/or wholesalers a monthly fee. The crates are specially designed for food contact and are made of 100% recyclable plastic. They are light, ergonomic and easy to handle. The crates can be nested and stacked together, saving storage space.

The Environmental Benefits

  • Restaurants and municipalities don't have to deal with packaging waste anymore, while wholesalers and producers save money on their packaging budget
  • Replaces everyday 2000 disposable packaging by its reusable crates system
  • With an assumption of 40 rotations, using a reusable crate emits 3 times less CO2 than using polystyrene boxes
  • Pandobac saves 1L of water for each use of crate, compared to disposable packaging

The Financial Benefits

  • Wholesalers and producers can save up to 33% of their packaging budget by using reusable crates
  • Restaurants and shops also save time and money, because Pandobac reduces their packaging waste
