The next three years will lead to novelties and major renovations. At the beginning of 2021, the new CPR crates will be introduced, characterized by a weight about 20% less than the current green ones, and it will have a new color that is more aligned with the evolving marketing needs in the retail outlets. In addition, a new pallet obtained from recycled plastic will be introduced through the subsidiary company NEWPAL. "The new CPR container - added Gerevini - is exclusively designed and developed in collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano."
