Case Study: Rimi achieves sustainable supply chain transformation with IFCO reusable packaging solutions

Rimi cuts fresh produce packaging waste with IFCO, saving 3,500 tons of CO₂ a year

Rimi, one of the leading retailers in the Baltics, sought to transform its supply chain to be more sustainable and operationally efficient. To address this challenge, Rimi partnered with vendor IFCO Systems to implement their reusable packaging containers (RPCs).

The solution from IFCO involved replacing one-way cardboard boxes and rigid crates with their collapsible RPCs across both import and export fresh produce flows. This implementation by IFCO streamlined logistics, simplified administration, and is estimated to save 3,500 tons of CO₂ per year, significantly reducing Rimi's environmental impact.
