The new alliance guarantees customers optimum availability of sustainable, premium quality packaging solutions as well as additional economic and environmental benefits in the form of shorter distances and optimised logistics between the site network, said the companies.
With the joint network and the perfectly co-ordinated range of new, washed and re-conditioned IBCs, plastic and steel drums, SCHÜTZ and DUO Emballages are ideally positioned to meet the requirements of the circular economy.
DUO Emballages has been active in the reconditioning of industrial packaging for 28 years. After many years of collaborating with SCHÜTZ, the long-established French company finally became a RECOBULK partner in 2018.
DUO Emballages regularly invests in reconditioning processes to ensure safer, environmentally. As part of a joint venture, SCHÜTZ and the DUO Group are joining forces to form the largest network for the reprocessing of industrial packaging in France with seven locations.

“SCHÜTZ and DUO Emballages share the same vision of sustainability, quality and environmental standards. This collaboration is an important building block for the continuous expansion of our circular economy. Customers will benefit from our joint commitment to sustainability and a significantly expanded product range,” said Veit Enders, Member of the Board of Schütz.
‘’This latest step is an expression of how satisfied both sides are with how the partnership has developed. The years 2018 and 2022 were important milestones, and the alliance that has now been concluded feels like the natural and logical next stage. Together, we will continue to expand the collection of packaging, optimise joint logistics and further reduce carbon emissions. And all of this will be on the basis of an even broader and more extensive range of washed and reconditioned industrial packaging and the recycling of the regranulate in order to further the green circular economy. Thierry and I are proud to be part of the SCHÜTZ family,” said Hervé Obaton, Managing Director of DUO Emballages.
