Acer Poland Asplex conducts supplier packaging reverse logistics

Acer's Asplex Service Logistics Center in Poland observed that the price of packaging materials continued to rise, and considering the "reduce/reuse/recycle" concept, thought about how to recycle the spare parts boxes provided by suppliers, which are still of good quality but contain many labels, tapes and markings. After testing, the results showed that one person could recycle 3,400 boxes per month; in addition, a paper cutter was used to reuse the boxes as filler material to reduce the cost of cushioning materials. These innovations not only reduce costs and carton waste, but also further reduce CO₂ emissions and trees felling.

Acer America Designs Multi-Pack Boxes with Cost, Environmental and Social Benefits

Acer America designed the multi-packing box to support education customers with warehouse repair shipments. By using a single box for 10 notebooks instead of 10 individual boxes, education customers can more easily pack, ship and receive repaired equipment; in addition, the box can be reused up to four times, reducing corrugated cardboard material usage, packaging and shipping costs. Participants in this project include packaging material suppliers, logistics companies, Acer repair centers, educational customers and the Temple City Recycling Center, saving approximately US$500,000 per year in transportation and packaging costs and reducing CO₂ emissions by 109.98 MTCO2E. At the same time, it enhances the relationship with important education customers and brings convenience and social benefits to education customers in terms of maintenance process.
