BETTER FOR BUSINESS, BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Replas plastic recycling solutions are good news for the environment, and even better news if you need more competitive advantages for your business.
The Replas system of processing waste plastic significantly reduces cost by using plastic waste that would otherwise be destined for landfill, and in turn reducing the negative impact on our natural environment.
Once recovered and recycled, the plastic resins are manufactured into a range of plastic products from slipsheet to mesh products and recycle bins.
Become a strategic partner with Replas and you’ll discover a “total ownership, total stewardship’ view of your business world.
Distribution, packaging, warehouse and freight managers have always strived for more effective and efficient product distribution processes. One of the main objectives has always been to reduce costs, and one innovation that has improved the distribution process and significantly reduced costs is plastic slipsheet technology.
A recent development in pallet‐less handling systems is the introduction of the Replas Slipsheeted Bulk Bag. This innovative new product has a high‐quality Replas slipsheet attached to a premium grade bulk bag, which allows loads up to 1000 kg to be moved through a distribution chain. This style of packaging suits mechanised loading and unloading systems handling bulk products such as milk powders, flour, grains, minerals and rice.
Distribution, packaging, warehouse and freight managers have always striven for more effective and efficient product distribution processes. One of the main objectives over the past few years has been to reduce costs.
Historically, two innovations have stood out above others to improve the distribution process. Firstly, the traditional wooden pallet. And secondly, the innovative concept of unitised loads.
One of the most important studies to be undertaken in assessing the feasibility of a slipsheet program is a cost comparison with a wooden pallet program. Pregmon has carried out detailed cost comparison analyses.
Once a slipsheet program has been chosen, consideration must then be given to the type of slipsheet that will be adopted depending on the product types and the environmental conditions to which the slipsheets will be subjected.
The use of a slipsheet handling program requires modifications to the standard forklift trucks. However, these modifications are relatively minor and relate to attachments to the forklift trucks so facilitate slipsheeted load handling.
Together, we become an important part of future solutions, rather than adding to the problem. Quite simply, Replas recycling solutions are a better way of doing business because they make a real difference.
Replas has developed a number of collaborative business partnerships where we manage the plastic waste generated by clients operations. The plastic waste is collected and processed into the Replas family of products that can then be used by the client. Replas take ownership of those products once used, so you continually reuse part of your own waste – it’s a compelling value proposition, with the environment in mind.
