Eliminate

Eliminate single use packaging

Loadhog reusable packaging solutions eliminate single use packaging throughout the supply chain. We helped Sky and Unipart Logistics remove all single use packaging from their supply chain. The Loadhog Pallet Lid eliminates 10.2 tonnes of plastic wrap per annum, equivalent to 79,200 pallets of single use plastic per year.

Eliminate double handling

Loadhog products are more efficient through the removal of doubling handling. Using the Pallet Lid, Volkswagen recorded a minimum time saving of 99.52 seconds per pallet. This solution is faster and ergonomically better than banding and removes double handling.

Eliminating CO2 emissions

Reusable plastic Totes have 88% less carbon emissions than single use cardboard boxes. Using Loadhog Totes will help your supply chain become more sustainable.

Circulate

Circular economy

All Loadhog products are part of the circular economy allowing supply chains to loop their packaging, resulting in no waste. The multi-use material stays within the circle, resulting in reduced cost for a business, as they no longer needing to purchase single use packaging.

Recycled material

Reusable packaging is 85% more climate friendly than single use. Loadhog products go that one step further by including recycled material within their reusable packaging, helping to recycle plastic and reduce linear waste.

Closed loop

The reusable system of packaging represents a closed-loop process, transforming packaging from a single-trip to a multi-trip asset. Loadhog has an expert team that can help you close the loop in order to gain the benefits of reusable packaging. Tracking reusable packaging in a closed loop network safeguards the longevity of the packaging but furthermore enabled Penguin Random House to spread the benefits across their full supply chain, from their suppliers right through to their customers.

Innovate

Swap out scheme – Innovating old
packaging and giving it a new lease of life

We have a swap out scheme that promotes a circular economy for plastic material, which involves taking a customer’s old Tote, recycling it and redesigning it to suit the businesses operations in a more ergonomic and efficient manner.

Tailor innovations to suit your needs

As market leading innovators we continue to work in partnership with our customers to better understand their challenges.

25% of sales comes from new products

To ensure we are consistently innovating we have a key performance requirement that states, a minimum of 25% of our turnover must come from products less than four years old. This instils a drive within all employees to invent, challenge and implement the latest innovations within returnable packaging.
