Reusable packaging for Airbus


Gefco has signed an agreement with Airbus to support its transition to a leaner, more environmentally friendly supply chain. Building on more than 30 years of expertise in reusable packaging, Gefco will gradually replace Airbus’ disposable packaging with reusable, foldable containers.

 

This reusable packaging will enable Airbus to significantly reduce the quantity of disposable packaging in its supply chain, as well as the number of trucks on the roads, since the use of foldable boxes and containers helps optimise truck loading.

 

On a daily basis, six Gefco packaging management centres handle the ordering, collection, loading and transport of reusable packaging. Airbus is also working with Gefco’s asset auditing teams to train its operational teams in packaging management and the Netbox IT system, which tracks the containers and provides delivery updates in real time.
