Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is alternative with environmental corresponding packing containers for transportation of fruits and vegetables.
As a result of analysis is follows. First, reusable plastic container is short a logistics working hour, and not only reduced production logistics costs, but also increase receipt price of the producer. Secondly, reusable plastic container is superior in maintenance of the quality for fruits and vegetables. Thirdly, reusable plastic container has a small load to environment from LCA analysis.
