and Waste Directive 94/62/EG. This includes the 5 step waste
hierarchy framework:
Prevention of Packaging

- CHEP limits to a minimum the use of natural resources
reuse of Packaging
- CHEP ensures the highest possible equipment reuse
recovery of Packaging
- CHEP controls and recovers all of its equipment
recycling of Packaging Waste
- 100% of damaged equipment is sent to re-processors and
recycled
recovery for Energy
- Energy is recovered from CHEP waste that cannot be recycled.

miles to a minimum, decreasing significantly CO2 emissions.
The CHEP pallet
pooling system can offer
many supply chain benefits inclu

creased product damage, lower total
program cost, and a more environmentally
sustainable option as compared with
other shipping platforms.
