In the logistics sector, transport packaging such as pallets, cartons, stretch film, strapping, dunnage and pallet collars are fundamental to ensuring the safety and integrity of products in transit. They are essential for protecting goods, optimising the use of loading space and improving operational efficiency, highlighting the crucial role of pallet spacers, anti-slip, dunnage, slip-sheets, elastic pallet bands and automatic format cutting machines in the supply chain.

Protection of goods : The main purpose of transport packaging is to protect goods against shock, vibration and environmental conditions. It acts as a barrier between the products and external elements, ensuring the integrity of the goods.
Optimising space : As well as protecting, packaging is designed to optimise the use of space in transport vehicles. Intelligent designs enable efficient stacking, reducing shipping costs and minimising the environmental footprint.
Variety and adaptability : - Customised packaging The range of transport packaging available is vast, from standardised boxes to tailor-made packaging for specific products. This variety allows companies to optimise protection while minimising costs.
- Innovative materials The use of innovative materials, such as recycled and recyclable packaging, reflects a growing commitment to sustainability. Companies are increasingly incorporating environmentally-friendly materials to meet consumer and regulatory requirements.
Technology for safety : - Digital tracking Digital tracking technologies, such as IoT sensors, are integrated into packaging to provide real-time information on the location, temperature and condition of goods. This enables more efficient supply chain management and rapid response in the event of an incident. - Intelligent packaging Intelligent packaging is equipped with interactive capabilities, offering features such as inventory monitoring, alerts in the event of a breach of packaging integrity, and even quality indicators for sensitive products.
Economic and environmental impact : - Cost savings : Well-designed transport packaging helps to reduce the costs associated with damaged goods, lost time and excessive shipping charges. It is an essential investment for companies seeking to maximise their operational efficiency.
- Durability : The transition to sustainable and eco-friendly packaging is not only good for the environment, but also meets growing consumer expectations for responsible business practices. Transport packaging is much more than a logistical necessity; it is a strategic partner in the success of a smooth and efficient supply chain. By understanding the importance of these silent guardians, companies can maximise product safety, reduce costs and contribute to sustainable logistics. Investing in innovative and appropriate transport packaging can be the key to long-term logistics success.

Demand is changing, and consumers no longer want to remain mere spectators of the deteriorating climate. They feel involved in the act of purchasing and its consequences for the environment.
The rules are changing, the environmental shift has been taken and is part of a regulatory and fiscal framework, the movement is unstoppable and markets are closing to the least green companies.
The supply side is changing, companies are reducing their environmental footprint, we are learning to consume fewer resources and less energy, to generate less greenhouse gas and waste, and to create products that can be recycled.
Over several phases of the product life cycle. We can help you to sort waste more quickly and recover it where appropriate.

What are the results of this continuous improvement approach?
The life cycle analysis has enabled us to highlight the 5 items that have the greatest impact, namely :
raw materials, particularly paper
water consumption
electricity and gas consumption. and waste reduction.
CGP INDUSTRIES is a pioneer in the environmental approach with the sorting and recovery of our waste, the introduction of eco-design and the completion of an Energy Diagnostic and Carbon Footprint for the site.
CGP INDUSTRIES continues to improve its environmental performance, focusing on energy savings:
• 315,000 kWh/year thanks to the installation of 6 Electronic Variable Speed Drives on our furnace and compressor motors. • 26,000 kWh/year thanks to its policy of optimising lighting in the workshops by replacing old luminaires with ferromagnetic ballasts with new luminaires with electronic ballasts. • 2,200,000 kWh/year thanks to the launch of a heat recovery project, using the hot air discharged by the furnaces to preheat incoming air. • 14% less gas used thanks to a reduction in furnace extraction rates.
Areas for future improvement :
172,000 kWh/year by installing destratifiers throughout the workshop.

AN ECO-DESIGNED RANGE: STABULON® ANTI-SLIP SPACER PADS
Why is the STABULON® anti-slip spacer range eco-designed?
The Green Touch is not a niche, it's a profitable and winning value proposition that we'd like to share with you.
Greener, but not more expensive! It's obvious.
Greener, but no worse! All our products perform identically to products before the approach.
For as many people as possible ... our products are a service to you, whether you are sensitive to environmental arguments or not. They enable you to reduce your costs, cut your packaging consumption and reduce your waste.
Visibly green! To reinforce our commitment to our planet, we have created an Eco-LOGO on all the products in the range, attesting to our efforts to improve environmental performance at several stages in the product life cycle. Thanks to our Eco-logo, you can identify the eco-designed approach of the product and communicate.
Different in use! Thanks to us, all products bearing the Eco-logo go straight into the paper bin, so we can help you sort your waste more quickly and recycle your waste where appropriate. For the rest, all the functional and application characteristics have remained unchanged.
