Sustainability in Plastic Milk Crates

For almost 100 years, before the environmental awareness movement, the manufacturer of our milk crates has been offering its customers reusable packaging and material handling products. So, even today, the milk crates are 100% recyclable. They use recycled plastic from both post-industrial and post-consumer waste streams, to create eco-friendly dairy crates. Usability and durability have not suffered, but in fact, have improved. This in turn helps to reduce the overall cost of packaging while adding to the customer profit margin. Our manufacturer's recycling and sustainability services operations work to shrink wrap other plastics and hard-to-recycle items at their docks and distribution centers. These items are taken to their service centers where they are restored, reused or recycled. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle is more than just a motto, it defines the history and the future of how our heavy duty milk crates are manufactured and distributed.
