Discount Retail Chain Lidl's sister company supermarket chain Kaufland focuses on more sustainable, hygiene transport and display solutions. The traditional Düsseldorf half-pallet made of wood has been Kaufland veteran.
Why is this relevant?
Because more efficient load carriers not only move goods, but also optimize the entire supply chain and protect our products. There is also an international changeover.
With alternatives such as the PreTurn pallet, we have more sustainable and robust options in place. The PreTurn pallet is particularly impressive: it is made of recyclable plastic, the process efficiency in automation systems is significantly better than that of the Düsseldorf classic and it manages over 100 cycles.
Soon also Lidl and other discount retail chains will make a similar move and stop with the usage of wooden half pallets.
The PreTurn pallet is produced of recycled materials by another sister company of Lidl Prezero.
