The CAPS Strategy – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

CAPS is proud to assist businesses, large and small, with logistics help through our container management services featuring sustainable shipping containers. Since 1998, we’ve been in the business of reducing waste, transportation costs, energy expenditures and storage needs with our collapsible, plastic shipping and bulk storage containers for dry and liquid materials.

Our corporate philosophy for environmental responsibility is best explained through the three R’s -  Reduce – Reuse – Recycle - as explained below:

REDUCE

CAPS’ bulk totes and containers eliminate the need for one-way packaging, as well as for wooden pallets, strapping and other materials that generally end up in landfills as the final step in their production process. Our reusable shipping containers thus diminish wasteful expenditures of trees and the organic and inorganic materials used in packaging.

 

REUSE 

Each and every CAPS shipping container is reusable time and again. When plastic shipping containers make their way back to a CAPS Service Center, they are inspected, repaired, cleaned and stored for use by the next customer. If they are damaged beyond repair, these containers are sent to our recycling partner to ensure the reuse of the plastic materials in a next generation of product.

 

RECYCLE

Container and Pooling Solutions is committed to not contributing our shipping containers to a landfill. When end-of-life is reached for our bulk storage totes and containers, they are sent to our recycling partner for grinding, where the plastics are reintroduced into other products made out of regrind material. In this way, less new petroleum-based plastic is required, which reduces oil consumption as well as air pollution from particulate matter.

Why Green is Our Favorite Color!

 

• A study evaluating 10 produce applications, found that reusable shipping containers require 39% less total energy, produce 95% less total solid waste and generate 29% less total greenhouse gas emissions than corrugated containers.¹
