Returnable Packaging Services Ltd (RPS) provides a full management system for the collection of customer's empty reusable transport packaging and associated equipment. This currently includes wooden / plastic pallets, top boards, metal racks, stillages, timber boxes, re-usable Octoboxes, big bags, packaging associated with the films industry such as plastic and chipboard, end plates, tops and frames.

Returnable packaging is sent to an RPS depot in the UK, or partner company depots on the continent. It is sorted (good from damaged), identified per supplier / manufacturer, cleaned, repaired and sent back to RPS clients in full loads.

All packaging returns are entered onto the RPS database. This enables RPS to raise regular reports for their customers, which then highlights collection performance at customer collection points.

RPS can help to minimise the impact of packaging through proactive collection and reuse of what in effect is a company asset. RPS can advise clients on packaging minimisation where reuse is not practical, and can specify recycled content where practicable. Any packaging collected by RPS on your behalf, that cannot be used by your company, will either be reused by a third party or offered for energy recovery (calorific gain).

RPS can provide evidence of the number of packages collected and reused. This evidence will help to reduce your annual packaging waste submission to Valpak.
