Rena Systems

Rena has switched from propane to electric for its warehouse forklift. By designing and using a fanfold tab with a center hole for tractor drive and a 13⁄16? diameter, Rena has greatly reduced the amount of material used to produce each case of tabs as well as the waste material that other tractor-fed tabs use. This translates to roughly a 65 percent reduction of materials, or about 30 tons of materials that don’t end up in landfills every year. The smaller tab size also reduces the amount of material that goes on a mailer (and eventually into the trash/recycle system). Rena’s recently introduced Roll Tabs use 15 to 20 percent less material than comparable tabs.
