IFCO donates environmentally friendly RPCs worldwide

Pullach (ots) - IFCO SYSTEMS supports food banks worldwide by
provisioning free RPCs and co-financing refrigerated vans

Since the beginning of its initiative for the support of food
banks in 2009, IFCO SYSTEMS, the leading global provider of reusable
packaging solutions, has donated more than 280,000 RPCs (Reusable
Plastic Containers) to food banks. In addition, the company supports
food banks with voluntary work and by co-financing refrigerated vans.

"A better supply chain serves us all. This is why we support food
banks around the globe with our RPCs to optimize their supply chain
processes - enabling them to better fulfill their mission every day,
and yet reduce waste," said Wolfgang Orgeldinger, CEO of IFCO
SYSTEMS. "IFCO is pleased to support the food banks in their
endeavors to help those in need. Since we started our initiative in
2009, IFCO has not only provided thousands of RPCs, but also made
monetary donations, co-financed dozens of refrigerated transporters
and allocated hundreds of volunteering hours to help reduce hunger
worldwide."

In 2018 IFCO supported activities in different countries all
around the globe:

IFCO Germany provided RPCs to 46 food banks in 2018, bringing
their cumulative support to 152 food banks by the end of 2018. The
free provision of about 16,000 RPCs during the year contributes to
process optimization at these food banks and significantly reduces
waste. Disposal costs for one-way packaging are also saved. Thanks to
the contractual cooperation with Tafel Deutschland e.V.
(https://www.tafel.de), four more food banks could be supported with
the financing of refrigerated vehicles - bringing the overall figure
of sponsored vans in Germany to 62 since the start of the initiative
back in 2009.
