Case Study: Gastrofresh achieves greater sustainability and efficiency with IFCO reusable packaging solutions

Gastrofresh cuts packaging waste and CO₂ emissions with IFCO reusable solutions

Gastrofresh, a specialist supplier of high-quality fresh products to the hospitality sector in South Tyrol, Italy, required efficient logistics and sustainable practices to meet its tight delivery schedules and zero-waste goals. The company partnered with IFCO Systems to implement its reusable packaging containers (RPCs) as a smart and sustainable alternative to single-use packaging.

IFCO provided its SmartCycle circular business model, which enabled a smooth transition to reusables. This solution allowed Gastrofresh to secure timely deliveries, maintain product freshness, and achieve significant sustainability wins, including major reductions in packaging volumes, waste, and carbon emissions along its supply chain. IFCO also provides the company with an annual Sustainability Certificate to quantify these environmental benefits.
