Leading can manufacturers across Europe have already switched to plastic layer pads – the smarter way to palletize and transport cans. This shift marks a major step forward in optimizing supply chains and reducing environmental impact.

The industry has already begun moving away from single-use cardboard, with a widespread transition to sustainable, reusable solutions well underway. Driven by the principles of circular economy and regulatory pressure for more sustainable practices, this change is reshaping logistics across the continent.
