How it works

How PGS Reverse makes your supply chain more sustainable.

A sustainable approach in every step of the supply chain

At PGS Reverse, pallets are no longer a one-way product, but part of a circular logistics system.

Through pooling and logistics management, pallets remain in continuous circulation instead of being discarded after a single use. Once empty, pallets are collected and redirected to where they are needed next, avoiding unnecessary transport and loss.

At PGS sites across Europe, pallets are inspected, sorted and repaired when needed, ensuring consistent quality and long-term use. This allows pallets to complete multiple rotations over many years.

By managing pallet flows in this way, PGS Reverse reduces the need for new production, lowers raw material consumption, minimizes waste and cuts greenhouse gas emissions, while ensuring a reliable and efficient supply for our customers.

FAQ

Have questions about circular pallet logistics? Here we answer the most common questions about how PGS Reverse keeps pallets moving efficiently and sustainably across Europe.

What is circular pallet logistics?

Circular pallet logistics is a system where pallets are reused, repaired and redistributed instead of being discarded after a single trip. By keeping pallets in continuous circulation, raw material use, waste and emissions are significantly reduced.

How does pallet pooling work at PGS Reverse?

Pallet pooling at PGS Reverse allows pallets to be shared between multiple users. After use, pallets are collected, inspected and repaired if needed, then redistributed where they are needed next, instead of being returned empty to their original owner.

How does PGS Reverse reduce empty pallet transport?

PGS Reverse limits empty transport by redirecting used pallets to the nearest facility within its European network. This reduces unnecessary transport movements, lowers costs and cuts transport-related greenhouse gas emissions.

What is the difference between ECO PGS®, PGS RLS® and REVERSE+?

PGS Reverse offers three circular logistics solutions designed for different pallet needs:

  • ECO PGS® uses eco-designed pooling pallets that remain the property of PGS, offering a flexible and sustainable alternative to disposable pallets.
  • PGS RLS® enables the shared use and relocation of standardized EPAL/EUR pallets across Europe through a virtual system.
  • REVERSE+ provides delegated management of a customer’s own logistics park, where pallets and specific packaging remain the property of the customer.

Together, these solutions help optimize pallet flows while supporting more efficient and sustainable logistics.

In which countries does PGS Reverse operate?

PGS Reverse operates across Europe through a dense network of storage, repair and collection points, ensuring proximity, reliability and efficient pallet flows for both national and international supply chains.
