During a time when there’s more focus on cost-savings and sustainability than ever before, the choice of reusable plastic containers (RPCs) over alternative container and pallet makeups (ex. wood) is helping supply chains across major industries. Not only are they keeping products and services moving but are streamlining operations as a whole while minimizing environmental impact and repeated need for asset replacements.
From automotive facilities to food and beverage distribution to retail stock and storing, here are how these versatile necessities are playing a pivotal role in supply chain productivity.
In the automotive industry, reusable plastic containers include basic containers plus dunnage, totes and pocket trays. These containers are designed to withstand rigorous, weightful usage for the purposes of transporting, stocking and storing wide ranges and sizes of parts, liquids and accessories.
The different container types are often custom-designed and internally reserved for various components of all sizes, from single car parts to tools to main vehicle essentials like wheels, tanks and engines.
At BoxSys, we understand that plastic storage components can endure a lot of contamination, spills and damage in the automotive industry. Here’s how we can help. (Learn more)

RPC types include, but aren’t limited to, bread trays, confectionery trays, chocolate trays, egg trays, meat trays, multi-hole trays, reusable crates, pallets and poultry totes.
