SUSTAINABILITY

We were born as a system based on sustainability, and we are increasingly projected to achieve sustainable development, for a better future for all.

Our virtuous circuit helps to greatly limit the pollution potential of the environment.

1.

The producers collect the crates and pallets from the CPR warehouses.

2.

Producers collect
the product and package it
In the CPR boxes

3.

The goods are delivered to the retailers in the CPR crates.

4.

The CPR crates are placed directly in the sales areas, the consumer purchases directly from the crate itself.

5.

CPR picks up containers
empties from the large-scale retail trade

6.

The damaged cassettes
are repaired
or re-purposed to make
new containers.

7.

Containers are
delivered to the center
logistical to be
washed and sorted.

Always led by the circular economy: the 4 Rs

1

Reuse

multi-cycle reuse is the basis of our vision

2

Recovery

the more we reuse our crate, the less we produce disposable packaging

3

Recycling

plastic is a valuable material to always be reprocessed

4

Reduction

less plastic means less use of virgin raw material

Innovation for a positive impact on the environment

ENERGY SAVINGS

Optimisation of energy consumption is one of our goals.

  • Centrifugal systems for drying crates make it possible for us to reduce energy consumption by around 80/90% compared to traditional blower systems.
  • The cogeneration facility (at the Gallo site) allows us to heat water for washing while simultaneously producing electricity which powers the pumps (in 2020 it produced 551 MWh electric and 1000 MWh thermal).
  • We use LED lighting technology.
  • Our photovoltaic systems, fully integrated with the roofing of the buildings, generate part of our own consumption.
    (in 2020, at the Gallo and Casei Gerola sites, we produced 150 MWh and 191 MWh respectively).
WATER SAVINGS

Water is a precious resource.
Which is why we are careful about its use and avoid waste.

  • We have reduced water usage for washing crates, thanks to ongoing usefulness analysis.
  • Using our crate washing method, we are able to achieve significant annual water savings.
LOGISTICS SAVINGS

Reducing CO2 emissions is fundamental.
The new Redea fruit and vegetable crates are smaller in size and lower in weight.

  • This optimises transport by around 20% (on average across all sizes), with a reduction of 10.3% in CO2 emissions during transport.
  • Consumption of fuel used for logistics is reduced by 1.66% compared to values achieved with the green crate.
