Oakland, CA/Washington: The StopWaste Partnership, a California-based public agency, in conjunction with the Reusable Pallet & Container Coalition (RPCC), a Washington trade association, have launched a major campaign in Alameda County, CA to advocate the benefits of reusable transport packaging systems to local and national businesses. The partners will not only provide information and education, but will assist businesses in the actual conversion to reusables.

Reusable transport packaging has been proven to cut costs from multi-use trips through the supply chain while conserving energy and environmental resources. Businesses and organizations nationwide that have made the switch to reusable transport packaging have gained a reduction in shipping errors, better protection for goods shipped, lower waste management and packaging costs and increased worker safety.

“We are thrilled to make reusable transport packaging resources available to businesses in Alameda County,” says StopWaste Partnership senior program manager Rory Bakke. “Reusable transport packaging is an effective way for companies to have a positive impact on the environment while also supporting their bottom line.”

Through its partnership with the RPCC, the StopWaste Partnership is offering free assistance to Alameda County businesses and organizations interested in switching from single and limited use packaging to reusable transport packaging, which conserves natural resources while cutting company costs.
