The partnership between Target and Cabka demonstrates Cabka’s growth strategy in the US, especially leveraging the opportunities in the large container and customized solutions segment
Enabling the circular economy
The large foldable containers are made from 100% recyclable high-quality plastics and are designed for extreme reusability. The usage of the units creates significant efficiencies in transport and logistics, enabling the circular economy by:
- eliminating the usage of the single-use packaging items from entering the landfill, reducing solid waste;
- eliminating the need to recycle or remanufacture single-use packaging, reducing carbon (greenhouse gas) emissions;
- superior product protection offered by the units resulting in lower product damage and waste;
- enhancing the efficiencies of return logistics by allowing at least four times as many empty containers in a truck;
- closing the loop by taking back end-of-life containers for recycling.
With this supply agreement, Cabka is providing support for some of Target’s long-term recycling needs and using various waste as feedstock for future production.
