    Industrial packaging loops — closed, governed, live.

    Pallets, FIBCs, crates, and returnable packaging orchestrated into closed loops: from collection through recovery to certified recycled content. The vertical where our take-back programs run in production today.

    Or start with a 30-minute conversation.

    ( 02 ) — Who Operates These Programs

    Built for the packaging value chain.

    Packaging OEMs & Converters

    Manufacturers of pallets, FIBCs, films, and rigid packaging running take-back for their own products.

    Brand Owners & Industrial Users

    Companies with returnable packaging fleets and recycled-content commitments to document.

    Poolers, PROs & Recyclers

    Pool operators and compliance schemes orchestrating multi-party packaging recovery.

    The vertical with named, working references.

    Pilot · Live

    Greiner

    Live pilot for closed-loop packaging recovery: governed collection, documented custody, and recovery routing across the existing partner network.

    Active Pilot

    Cabka

    Take-back program for recycled-plastics pallets and transport packaging: from end-of-life collection to verified secondary material for new production.

    Also in this vertical: signed letters of interest from the European FIBC industry association (EFIBCA) and a leading packaging machinery manufacturer. Program scoping in preparation.
    ( 04 ) — How Packaging Loops Run

    Five steps from used packaging to certified content.

    ( 01 )

    Define Loop Rules

    Set collection triggers, quality specs, R-strategies (reuse / recondition / recycle), and accepted processors per packaging type.

    ( 02 )

    Register Packaging Fleets

    Log pallet pools, FIBC batches, and returnable units with material composition and circulation data.

    ( 03 )

    Orchestrate Collection & Sorting

    Coordinate returns from customer sites through drop-off points: reuse-grade separated from recycling-grade at the gate.

    ( 04 )

    QA & Bundle Streams

    Quality banding and virtual aggregation of regrind / recyclate streams into contract-ready lots.

    ( 05 )

    Close the Loop & Report

    Certified recycled content back into production, with chain-of-custody, mass balance, and PCF documentation by default.

    ( 05 ) — What's Recoverable

    Every packaging stream, tracked and quality-banded.

    Plastics (PP / PE)

    Pallets, crates, films: regrind and recyclate with verified provenance for recycled-content claims.

    FIBC Fabric

    Big-bag recovery streams with contamination screening and quality banding.

    Wood

    Pallet repair and cascading: reuse-grade separated before material recovery.

    Metals & Composites

    Frames, fittings, and composite packaging routed to certified processing.

    Regulatory Tailwind · PPWR & EPR

    Recycled-content targets are coming to every packaging category.

    The EU Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation sets binding recycled-content and reuse targets; EPR fees increasingly reward documented circularity. Programs on ContainerGrid generate the evidence as a byproduct of operations. No annual reporting scramble required.

    The cost of waiting

    The PPWR applies since August 2026, and its reuse and recycled-content targets bind by 2030. A governed take-back loop takes two to three quarters to stand up. Companies that start in 2027 will design under deadline pressure; companies that start now have a proven loop before the targets bite.

    Live pilots: Greiner, Cabka.

    Start where our loops already run.

    Scoped with your packaging and volume data. Not a generic demo.

    Typical pilot: 8–12 weeks to first documented loop.

    You can stop at every step, and everything produced up to that point stays with you.

    If you are unsure which path fits, start with the 30-minute conversation. It is the right first step for nearly every team.
