Pps East Limited

The leading supplier of Returnable Transit Packaging services in the UK, including rental, pooling, washing, management and repairs.

Moving returnable packaging forward together…

We currently have two modern and hygienic dedicated wash plants in Grimsby and the Midlands of the UK where we wash all our own fleet of returnable packaging. We also wash returnable packaging for third parties on ad hoc or contract basis.

Our full option packages include the rental of the packaging medium, management of the equipment pool by means of our proprietary online asset tracking system, collection of used equipment from third parties to be washed and then returned to the rental pool.

Reducing your costs, waste and improving your carbon footprint

A large proportion of the supply chain for food and the retail sector still use cardboard or expanded polystyrene single use packaging. This eventually needs to be disposed of or discarded – at a cost not only in financial terms but also in carbon emissions.

But now, every responsible and environmentally conscious retailer is looking at their supply chains and demanding improvements in best practices that will significantly reduce carbon footprints.

The result? At every step within those supply chains processors, raw ingredient manufacturers, logistics providers and distributors are now considering or indeed have already made the decision to move to returnable packaging.

Can PPS help your business?

Renting returnable packaging such as plastic crates, boxes or plastic pallets for example from PPS is convenient and pain-free for our customers. We at PPS believe that our clients want to concentrate their efforts, energies and resources into their core business, which may be in the food, retail, and electronic or pharmaceutical industries…and let a specialist business handle their returnable packaging. Packaging is only “returnable” if it can be returned, after all! That may be an obvious statement – sending out returnable packaging is easy, but getting it back needs the skills of a specialist such as PPS.

We take the responsibility for retrieving the packaging from third parties, ensure it meets hygiene standards and return it to the user. You don’t have the capital expenditure requirements, our staff manage the equipment once it leaves your premises, have it washed (and repaired where necessary) – all this leaving you to concentrate your resources on your primary products or goods.

All our clients have seen cost savings using PPS services when it comes to returnable packaging, and while we acknowledge you want to be seen improving your waste and carbon emissions, you also want to know using returnable packaging is cost-effective.
