Implementation of pallet pooling in PENNY’s operations
In 2022, the retail chain PENNY accepted Gopall’s proposal and expanded the used pooling models with the Gopall open system. PENNY suppliers using Euro pallets could thus take advantage of the benefits of pooling, which speeds up the handover of goods, eliminates inefficient return pallets, and reduces the carbon footprint. In 2023, Gopall, in cooperation with PENNY, was the first chain to implement a half-pallet made of recycled plastic from the company Stabilplastik. This half-pallet received the Sustainability Star 2024 award, among other things, because it uses only plastic waste as a production material and is 100% recyclable. Overall, the share of “pooled” pallets in PENNY has risen to more than 35%.
