From regulation to real impact: how reusable pallets support circular supply chains across Europe.
In 2022, the EU generated an estimated 186.5 kg of packaging waste per person. To address this, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is setting a bold new course for how packaging should be designed, used, and recovered.
Understanding empty running
At IPP, we’re committed to reducing empty running and working closely with our logistics partners and customers to remove empty miles from their transport operations. Here, we take a closer look at the harmful effects of empty running and provide recommendations for reducing this practice through data, optimisation and collaboration.
Reinforcing circularity, transparency and sustainability this World Environment Day
World Environment Day 2025 is a reminder that sustainability must be more than ambition – it must be actionable, visible, and accountable. At IPP, this is embedded in how we operate every single day. From the way we design our pooling network to the choices we make around efficiency and reuse, our closed-loop pooling model already reflects the values that World Environment Day promotes: reducing environmental impact, prioritising reuse over waste, and designing systems that keep resources in use longer.
