Landgard is committed to developing more sustainable packaging solutions in many individual labor as part of its fellowship - wide-eyed sustainability strategy . One example in the surface area of flora transport tray is Landgard ’s TrayC weewee pallet recycling arrangement .

In the hereafter , it will become increasingly important to constitute unopen cycle with fully reusable products in the supply chain . The ecologic as well as social model conditions and , not least , the natural material prices make this development inevitable . In this context , the European Union Commission nominate fresh EU - wide regulations at the end of November 2022 as part of the European Green Deal to reduce unneeded publicity and to tug recycling . To this end , the EU Commission calls for boost a closed - loop recycling system by see that all packaging on the EU securities industry can be economically recycled by 2030 .

After more than two years in virtual usage , Landgard is choose positive stock of the TrayC closed - loop system : " Together with well - known partners , we put more than six million TrayC water system pallets into circulation in 2022 - and were able to deliver more than 2,500 metrical slews of CO2 equivalent compared to the conventional unmarried - use system last class alone thanks to the shut - loop topology system , " reports Johannes Kronenberg , Managing Director of Landgard Blumen & Pflanzen .

At the beginning of 2022 , Landgard also integrated the Landgard Cash & Carry stores into the system of rules of repay used pallet to the cardinal recycling station at the site in Lüllingen , in addition to several great customers . " This has once again significantly increased the intensity of return pallets . The physical process change for collect the used pallets and transporting them to Lüllingen went swimmingly at the Cash & Carry stores . As a result , the volume of palette toss away of in the Cash & Carry stores has been drastically and almost completely reduced - this is an crucial contribution to sustainability , " says Stefan Grett - Winkel , Managing Director of Landgard Fachhandel GmbH & Co. KG .

" for be capable to process the volume of used pallets , we have added a modern distribution channel baler to the recycling post in Lüllingen , Germany , in 2022 . This means that the processing of urine pallets return by customers , producer , and cash & carry stores in Lüllingen now takes place on an area of 1,500 straight measure , " says Johannes Kronenberg .

In 2022 , more than 12,500 mil containers with returned cloth were sorted or processed at the recycling station . In the summons , the well - preserved TrayC pallets are sort out out directly for reuse . They offer producers who need to employ the used TrayC a low - cost alternative to new farm pee pallets . Thanks to the TrayC caliber standards , multiple uses is potential .

A sum of 1,030 tons of charge plate was separate at the recycling station and either put back into circulation as a directly reusable piddle pallet or given to the recycling partner Modiform for further processing . The buyers of the used weewee pallets made of PS to be recycled commit themselves to producing young trays from the textile again . In this direction , a used tray becomes a raw tray . A maximal unforesightful and closed bike without downcycling . By cautiously sorting the different textile PS , PET , and PP in the recycling station , Landgard makes a valuable donation to the sustainable use of plastics .

New TrayC modelsIn order to see the practical requirement of producers and customer even better , Landgard has gradually lucubrate the TrayC reach in the course of 2022 . As a resultant role , twelve TrayC variants are now available for transporting rough-cut products to customers in pot sizes ranging from 9 centimeter to 14 centimeter .

" In 2023 , we will cultivate continuously to further increase the share of TrayC among our customers and in our hard cash & carry stores for achieve the broadest possible market insight . We need to put as many used trays as potential into verbatim resale and thus further reduce the use of disposable pallets . Of course , we are counting first and foremost on the reenforcement of the horticultural businesses , which should use TrayC across the control board . Everyone has to join in to achieve the groovy possible effect , " says Johannes Kronenberg .

Floritray and TrayC : Commitment to more sustainable plant transport traysLandgard is committed to developing more sustainable packaging solutions in many item-by-item labor as part of its company - wide sustainability scheme . Current example in the area of plant transport tray are the Floritray reusable system and the TrayC closed - eyelet system . With the Floritray , Landgard has uprise a officiate reusable tray that is already in use in the swop . Landgard is convinced that the Floritray is presently the most innovative marketable reusable tray . But for a successful launching , the entire supply chain must support the necessary appendage change and cost change . On the way to develop a functioning returnable system for industrial plant transport trays , the TrayC closed - loop scheme is a root alternative and a viable reply for the current situation . For Landgard , TrayC does not contradict reusable organisation such as Floritray . The shut - iteration organization is an optimal supplementation wherever the exclusive use of recyclable pallet would not be practicable in the hereafter , for example , due to seasonal order superlative .
