IFCO Systems’ reusable plastic container for bananas hasn’t officially hit the market, but the new RPC already is garnering attention from the industry.
IFCO’s Caja de Oro, or box of gold, recently was nominated for a product innovation award during Fruit Logistica in Berlin. The container, which is made of 100% recyclable polypropylene, has been in trials with several North American retailers in the past 18 months, said Hillary Femal, vice president of global marketing.
