Designing for circularity

At Brambles, circularity is central to how we design, manage and recover our products. We aim to design durable, reusable platforms that can remain in use for as long as possible within our share and reuse model, helping reduce waste and improve resource efficiency.

Our approach considers the full product lifecycle – from design and material selection through to recovery and end-of-life management, with the objective of keeping materials in circulation at their highest practical value. At the same time, ambitions around recycled plastic content are increasing to substitute 80% of virgin plastics with circular solutions.

Strengthening water stewardship

In recognition of the growing awareness and need for action on water, we will be working towards implementing water efficiency initiatives at Brambles operated service centres in water-stressed areas.

We are also increasing our focus on data and site-level insights to help identify priority areas, support responsible water use and strengthen operational resilience over time.

Managing waste as a resource

We view waste as a resource and aim to divert all product waste from landfill through avoidance and recovery. Our target to implement solutions that divert product waste from landfill at all service centres has been further strengthened by prioritising those landfill avoidance solutions that are closed-loop, regenerative, resource-positive or communities-positive.

By keeping materials in use for longer, we aim to reduce dependence on virgin materials, including emissions-intensive inputs, such as plastics, while supporting lower-carbon and more resilient supply chains.
