The majority of Euro Pool Group’s emissions fall within scope 3, mainly from transport and purchased goods and services.
Our approach focuses on:
- accelerating the shift to renewable and low-carbon fuels
- improving load efficiency and reducing empty kilometres
- supporting suppliers’ transition to renewable energy
- increasing recycled content in packaging assets
These measures not only cut emissions across our network but also help our customers meet their own climate goals.
For Euro Pool Group, our decarbonisation levers are vital to lowering the carbon footprint of our reusable packaging solutions, aligning with circular economy goals and meeting growing customer and regulatory demands for sustainable supply chains.
These are some examples of EPG's decarbonisation levers.
LPR
Intermodal transport
Freight transport contributes significantly to carbon emissions, but HEINEKEN France and LPR are focused on creating step-by-step progress in sustainable freight transport. Since October 2024, the relocation and delivery of LPR pallets, from one of its service centres in the United Kingdom to the HEINEKEN brewery in Marseille, France has been optimised.
EPS
Emission-free transportation
In an innovative partnership, EPS has teamed up with H2Delivery to accelerate the transition towards greener logistics. H2Delivery specialises in providing its customers with climate-friendly commercial trucks and logistic services enabling emission-free transportation in Europe.
LPR
Heat treatment innovation powered by sustainable pellets
LPR has continued to expand its low-carbon operations by introducing a new heat treatment system fuelled by pellets, installed at one of our largest depots in Portugal. This facility is designed to replace traditional diesel-powered treatment with a far cleaner and more efficient alternative.
EPS
Closing the loop with recycled plastics
After many lifecycles of transportation, use and washing, damaged trays reach their end-of-life. To embrace circularity and close the loop, these trays are carefully recycled. Read the interview with Morssinkhof Plastics, a longstanding partner of EPS.
EPS
Service centres with solar energy
Euro Pool System's largest UK service centre opened last year in Bardon Hill, featuring advanced sustainability measures, including a solar power system. This facility, along with our service centres in Massalaves and Murcia, underscores our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint.
