A new factory dedicated to producing reusable packaging solutions has opened in Obernai, France, marking a significant expansion of production capacity for sustainable logistics materials in Europe. The facility is part of a broader push to support circular supply chains and reduce reliance on single-use plastics in freight and fulfilment operations.
The new 5,000 m² factory will manufacture a range of reusable packaging products — such as containers, trays and totes designed for automated warehousing and intralogistics systems — that help streamline material handling while cutting transport costs and environmental impact. These products are engineered to work with conveyors, robotics and other fulfilment technologies, improving operational throughput and reducing manual handling in high-volume settings.
Built with sustainability at its core, the plant uses renewable energy sources and participates in environmental initiatives aimed at minimising plastic waste and supporting worker safety. By producing packaging closer to key European logistics markets, the facility is expected to lower supply chain carbon emissions and reduce the need to import these products from overseas.
The opening also brings new employment opportunities to the local community and reinforces the growing focus on circular economy solutions within logistics and e-commerce supply chains. Industry observers say such investments in reusable packaging capacity are likely to accelerate adoption of sustainable materials and practices across distribution networks.
