Congratulations are in order for IFCO as the Reusable Packaging Containers (RPCs) provider was awarded the Excellence in Reusable Packaging Award 2022 from the Reusable Packaging Association (RPA) in the United States for its collapsible dairy and egg crate aptly named “Gregg.”
“We are very proud of those two prestigious international awards that further highlight our pioneering and innovative spirit,” Michael Pooley, the Chief Executive Officer for IFCO, noted in its release. “This recognition is proof that a strong and trustworthy collaborative relationship with key industry partners makes a sustainable fresh grocery supply chain possible.”
The 11th annual “Excellence in Reusable Packaging Award” recognizes companies that have developed and implemented innovative products and impactful reuse systems in their supply chain. For its inventive solution dedicated to dairy and eggs, RPA has selected IFCO and its supply chain partners as the award winners of the “Excellence in Reusable Packaging System” category. Gregg, the innovative collapsible dairy and egg crate, is the result of close collaboration between IFCO, NestFresh, and a leading U.S. grocery retailer.
“Sustainability and customer-led innovation have always been fundamental at IFCO,” Pooley continued in the release, which you can find here for more information on the award and the innovative Gregg container.
As noted in the release, the collaborative companies aimed at delivering the delicate extra care necessary for egg storage and transport without additional costs. The team received this award by demonstrating quantifiable results in both the environmental and economic impacts of this new RPC. IFCO will accept the Reusable Packaging Association award in late October during the Pack Expo event in Chicago, Illinois.
Congratulations to IFCO and its partners on this amazing award!
