Rental scheme aims to address price rises and meat supply chain challenges

RETURNABLE packaging specialist Schoeller Allibert has revealed plans to combat price rises in the meat industry with its new rental programme.

Under the scheme, businesses can rent recycled and recyclable transit packaging for incoming or outgoing meat deliveries. The programme enables farmers, packers, and retailers to spread the cost of their logistics packaging across their OPEX with no down payment required.

Nick James, sales director at Schoeller Allibert, said, “The meat supply chain is under extreme pressure as it tries to cope with demand as prices are rising. Everyone, from farmers to retailers needs to get meat from farm to fork as quickly and efficiently as possible.

“Our sustainable RTP is a great way to optimise the efficiency in the supply chain and a worthwhile investment. However, we realise that with the current volatility of the market, now is a difficult time to justify a big upfront investment for many in the meat industry.

“This is why our rental scheme is the perfect solution. There is no down payment, and you can start using your packaging right away. We have made the system as flexible as possible to suit the needs of the industry. We offer a diverse range of high-performance large containers, handheld boxes, pallets, and dollies, so there is something for every stage of the supply chain.”
