Next generation launches regional reusable pilot in collaboration

Together with Pentz from Essingen, we're declaring war on disposable packaging. Since 1948, this family-owned business has specialized in fresh produce such as eggs, fruit, vegetables, and ready-to-cook products. Brothers Manuel and Maximilian are now the fourth generation to lead the company and, together with our reusable pilot, aim to implement an innovation in the industry that offers your customers optimal freshness, sustainability, and process optimization in a single system.

• The perfect solution for every kitchen: Ready-to-cook fruit and vegetable products – called "Ready-Cuts."
• These save time and personnel.
• Instead of traditional disposable packaging, we are implementing a sustainable solution with the reusable GN system.
• For packaging raw vegetables, leaf salads, and fruit – as single products or as mixes.

Wide product range: raw vegetables, leaf salads and fruit - as monoproducts or mixtures

In the first step of our joint multi-pilot project, the company catering department of ZEISS in nearby Oberkochen will be supplied. The entire reusable food management is transparently tracked via the digital CHECK TRACE system. Savings are digitally recorded and immediately displayed. The 100% food-safe reusable GN containers are filled with Pentz's Ready-Cuts instead of the disposable polybag. Whether marinating products, placing them in the saladette, or directly processing them – our system eliminates the need for repackaging.

The kitchen and service staff of the ZEISS catering company Gusto Gourmet are convinced:

• The GN standard is well-known
• GN containers are practical and easy to use
• Fit anywhere in the kitchen, saladette, or trolley, or in our varithek® hot food serving area
• No disposal of disposable packaging
• Sensible sustainability without changes to daily operations
• Transparency of savings through automatic disposable tracking in the reusable CHECK TRACE system

In the future, the system will be set up as a standardized pooling solution so that additional B2B customers can be supplied with the reusable GN containers. 

Our goal is to build a comprehensive dishwashing and logistics network through service providers, allowing customers to use reusable GN containers via a pay-per-use model, similar to well-known pooling solutions, without investing in container infrastructure. Transactions can be transparently traced via our digital CHECK TRACE system.
