"SuperValu's goal is to transition the majority of our fresh produce to modular corrugated, and to a lesser extent, RPCs," says Greg Murphy, the company's corporate transportation manager of produce and floral. "It will ultimately reduce costs within the continuum of the wholesale/retail portion of the supply chain." The RPCs will be used mainly with wet products, reducing the need for wax-impregnated corrugated and wire-bound containers. For more information, call FBA at 847/364-9600, or visit www.fibrebox.org.
