Cartonplast is the frontrunner, defining the hygiene standards for the RTPs used in our applications.
We set standards for hygienic safety at every stage of the logistics chain because food safety is a top priority for our customers. We pay particular attention to our washing facilities, which meet the strict international criteria.
Cartonplast invests continuously in ever-improving cleaning processes in all our washing facilities worldwide and adhere to strictly controlled hygiene and disinfection standards and the highest environmental requirements. All our cleaning processes have undergone multiple audits, which is why we have been awarded with ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 certificates.
You can be sure that we make no compromises when it comes to microbiological cleaning!
Detergents and disinfectants
We use food safe cleaning agents and disinfectants to effectively eliminate microorganisms, pollutants, and other contaminants. In addition, certified control mechanisms ensure effective and verifiable cleaning results for all our products. The guidelines of the HACCP system are both an obligation and a benchmark for us.
Food Safety
We adhere to strict international standards, which is why all our sites are certified and regularly audited. We are aware of our position in the food production supply chain and have therefore designed our processes to ensure safe transport packaging. Within our HACCP system, risks are continuously assessed, and preventative measures are implemented. We are constantly improving our systems to meet food safety requirements in agreement with our customers.
Future-oriented cleaning technologies
More than 30 years of know-how have gone into our development of the best cleaning parameters and equipment combinations. Our equipment is continuously improved based on the experience gained in our production facilities. Through intelligent technical solutions, we continuously increase the throughput and performance of our machines. Cleaning parameters are also constantly optimized to always achieve the best results.
Validated process
Every small change to existing processes is subjected to extensive validation. This is the only way we can ensure its consistent performance and stability. This validation is carried out for every new washing system or every revision to an existing system and is part of our permanently installed internal change management system. Our continuous monitoring and verification measures ensure the highest product quality.
Frequent monitoring of microbiological results
Our extensive microbiological monitoring program enables us to continuously check the microbiological cleanliness of our products. This enables us to guarantee absolute food safety for the transport of packaging materials.
Automatically controlled process parameters
Our industrial washing systems are equipped with state-of-the-art automatic dosing systems for detergents and disinfectants. Precise control of temperatures or accuracy in the dosing of cleaners is key in modern manufacturing.
Final inspection of each individual processed product
Every single product is thoroughly checked again after cleaning and disinfection - manually. Qualified personnel follow our strict inspection criteria to ensure a constant and high level of quality and product safety.
New development in vision technologies to improve quality inspection criteria
Our latest development includes state-of-the-art camera vision technology for quality inspection of our products. The development is the first on the market and incorporates artificial neural network technology.
Same standard at all our sites/service centers
All our service facilities are IS0 9001 and ISO 22000 certified and follow the same procedures and standards. This means we can guarantee you consistent service quality.
Minimal impact on the environment and nature
With our cleaning and disinfection processes, we not only achieve an excellent standard of cleaning and hygiene, but also minimize the impact on our environment. From the very beginning, we have made a commitment to comply with all environmental rules and regulations, so we protect our environment through sustainable products and sound management practices. After all, one of our goals is to minimize the use of chemicals and reduce water consumption as much as possible. As a result, our washing lines have an excellent environmental record.

return to the begin of the cycle….
Cartonplast handles the complete pooling management for you, from stocking, sorting, cleaning, delivery, and collection.
We deliver food safe RTPs to our customers, the container manufacturers
Bottles, cans, and other containers are stored on our RTPs, ready for a safe transport to the filler
At the fillers, our RTPs are stacked on pallets and picked up by us to take them to the nearest Cartonplast service center
At the service center all RTPs are collected, sorted, and cleaned, ready for our next customer.
Good to know
We only use safe environmentally friendly substances and materials and no plasticizer to produce RTPs. Damaged RTPs in our pooling system will be withdrawn and recycled back to raw material to produce new RTPs. As our RTPs are very long-lived and robust, they remain in our closed cycle for about seven years on average.
