Twenty-five years ago, together with the polymer industry, PRS designed a standard pallet suitable for a circular system. PRS set up a pan-European network of approximately thirty third-party PRS pallet suppliers for new pallets and forty depots to collect and repair the pallets in order to supply them to the next customer. The company operates a dedicated pooling IT platform and a central Collection Service Centre to keep track of the pallets and to contact the 15,000 locations where they end up.
The PRS Return System
The PRS Return System introduced the PRS Green Label to emphasize the joint responsibility of all parties in the circular system; recognizing those companies that actively contribute to this long standing truly circular model.
Selenis efforts towards circular economy
Recollecting materials for reuse and recycling is one of the challenges of the circular economy, a topic that has become central not only to our company, but to the whole world. Selenis is proud to report that we have been certified by PRS for our efforts in our supply chain to accelerate this transition.
The Green Label serves to show us that all our partners involved in the polymer industry play an important role in the system. Cooperation is a must to achieve a circular economy, which is challenging. For this reason, at Selenis we consider it is important to deliver the message to our clients and demonstrate the benefits that this system brings to closing the loop.
Additionally, thanks to this system, Selenis and our partners can obtain several benefits, reducing costs and our ecological footprint by minimizing C02 and avoiding waste.
This commitment is part of our sustainability strategy that aims to bring sustainable solutions that support the advancement of a circular economy and considerably reduce plastic waste. Our long history in the polymers industry feeds our know-how and experience to achieve sustainability in both the solutions we offer to our customers as well as in our own operations. We are devoted to playing our role in society’s collective response to the challenges we face, by jointly working across the value chain to create tangible solutions.
