Cabka N.V., a leader in transforming hard-to-recycle plastic waste into reusable transport packaging, and Renewi, a leading waste-to-product company, are proud to announce their strategic collaboration to launch the Eco CP3 pallet – a durable, recyclable, and cost efficient solution made from 100% recycled polyethylene (PE) plastics sourced from Renewi.
This partnership brings together Renewi’s expertise in sustainable waste management and Cabka’s innovation in recycled plastic engineering to deliver a new generation of reusable transport solutions. The Eco CP3 pallet is designed to be reused more than 25 times, making it a genuinely circular option in a segment dominated by single-use and virgin materials.
“This collaboration shows how circular thinking and action lead to concrete results: lower costs and a more sustainable product,” says Jan Pedro Vis, Vice President Materials at Renewi. “In a market where virgin plastic is still often the preferred choice, we are proving that quality and circularity can indeed go hand in hand.”
“This product development partnership is yet another success story in Cabka’s continuous efforts to make plastics more circular,” added Naiara Lorono, Chief Sales Officer at Cabka. “It underlines that with collaboration across the value chain, truly sustainable solutions can be established.”
A closed-loop system with real impact
The Eco CP3 pallet is produced in the “Renewi blue” livery, making it easily recognizable as a high-quality recycled product. It is used by Renewi to transport its recycled regrind to Cabka for pallet production. Worn-out pallets are fully recycled into new ones or repurposed for other high-quality products as they are not black and thus infrared detectable. Thanks to this closed-loop system, the investment pays off after only four uses.
The pallet meets high quality standards, such as greater impact resistance and improved stackability, enabled by Cabka’s advanced material processing technology and Renewi’s high-quality PE feedstock. Renewi’s advanced plastics sorting facility in Eindhoven achieves a polymer purity of at least 95%, demonstrating that high-quality recycling of rigid plastics is technically feasible and contributes significantly to CO₂ reduction.
Driving circularity forward, collaborating for a cleaner tomorrow
Although the market has temporarily shifted in favour of virgin plastic, Cabka and Renewi are staying the course on circularity. By advancing the Eco CP3 pallet —a 100 % recycled, reusable solution—they show that a truly circular supply chain is not only possible but can compete with conventional materials.
While European policy makers continue to push for a transition to a circular economy, Cabka and Renewi are already delivering tangible solutions that reduce environmental impact and improve financial outcomes. By reducing dependence on imported raw materials and mitigating risks tied to virgin plastics, this collaboration sets a precedent for sustainable innovation.
