Cartonplast primarily rents reusable and recyclable plastic layer pads that are used to transport bottles or glass containers for beverages and other food products; its customers are the manufacturers of the bottles and containers. Within its customers’ value chains, Cartonplast has established a closed logistics loop that, in addition to rental, also includes the collection, sorting and cleaning of the layer pads. Compared to cardboard solutions, plastic layer pads are more hygienic, safer during transport and—due to their reusability—more cost‑efficient. Most recently, Cartonplast has strategically expanded its services in the areas of plastic pallets and layer pads for the can segment. 

Through its close customer relationships, Cartonplast has built a leading position across Europe in a market characterized by solid growth rates. The company benefits in particular from a growing outsourcing trend, sustainability initiatives and the increasing importance of circular‑economy concepts.
