Ávaxta- og grænmetisræktendur fara yfir í hreinar, léttar og endingargóðar plastkassar

Plast er ekki beint í tísku í augnablikinu en það hefur sína kosti í flutninga- og geymsluumhverfi. Don Marshall yfirmaður netverslunaruppfyllingar hjá skoska fyrirtækinu Exporta telur að það sé miklu betra efni fyrir bretti og grindur en við.

"Fruit and vegetable growers are moving away from the traditional wooden crates used during harvest time to the clean, lightweight and durable plastic crates," explains Don.

"Plastic does not rot and can be easily washed after use in the fields or glasshouses. We have crates which are used by retailers, bale arm crates, which are easily stackable in-store and fit inside each other when empty, cutting down the space required to for return transportation."

Exporta hefur ýmsar stærðir og litir á kössum og aðrar geymslu- og flutningslausnir fyrir ferskvörugeirann og marga aðra iðnað sem þeir fá frá ýmsum birgjum í Bretlandi og erlendis.

"We stock the most common ones but can get any size or colour made to order. We have several different suppliers and tend to carry a high amount of stock in our warehouse. We have a large variety of pallets available to purchase for next day delivery."

One of the company's main products is plastic pallets, those sold by Exporta are fully recyclable and 98 percent are made from recycled plastic. "Most of our retail customers want recycled products, unfortunately food grade products can't usually be made from recycled products due to hygiene protocols and containers must be made from virgin product, but if the product is going to be washed afterwards, then recycled can be an option. We also have a free recycling service for plastic which has come to the end of its life."
