For example, a supermarket chain using RPCs for just 20% of its five million annual fresh food shipments will save €96.700 – €210.896 a year. If it converts all its fresh shipments to RPCs, that same supermarket chain would further reduce costs – by an additional €1. – 3.1 million each year! Switching from single-use packaging to IFCO RPCs eliminates €681 million in costs from fresh food supply chains each year. IFCO RPCs reduce costs in retail supply chains by up to 27% Switching from single-use packaging to IFCO RPCs eliminates up to €681 million in costs from fresh food supply chains each year.
