Social Benefits
Many companies support their corporate citizenship and worker safety programs with reusable packaging systems. In addition to its environmental benefits, reusable packaging improves worker safety and workplace efficiencies in several ways:
- elimination of box cutting, staples, and broken pieces of one-way packaging reduces injuries
- removal of in-plant debris, such as stray packaging materials, reduces slip and fall injuries
- ergonomic handles on reusable containers, standardized sizes and weights minimizes back injuries
- reusables facilitate the use of merchandising racks, storage racks, flow racks and lift/tilt equipment
