Mission & Goals
Euro Pool Group (EPG) est un leader européen des systèmes de réemploi en boucle fermée pour les emballages de transport réutilisables. Notre mandat est de transformer les chaînes d'approvisionnement européennes en remplaçant les emballages à usage unique par des systèmes de "pooling" (mise en commun) durables et efficaces. Nos principaux objectifs incluent : Promotion de l'économie circulaire : réduire l'utilisation des ressources naturelles et les émissions de CO2 grâce à l'utilisation massive de bacs et palettes réutilisables dans la logistique européenne, notamment pour les produits frais. Durabilité et efficacité : optimiser la gestion des ressources en garantissant un taux de recyclage élevé et en minimisant le gaspillage alimentaire grâce à des solutions de transport robustes. Contribution réglementaire : participer activement au dialogue européen pour l'élaboration de cadres législatifs (tels que le Règlement PPWR ou le Circular Economy Act).
