For LP ART, it's essential to design each new crate with sustainability in mind.

Our Innovation, Methods and QSE Department provides our customers with an engineering department in charge of researching eco-packaging solutions for crates. Our team is constantly seeking to source new alternative materials with a low carbon footprint, while testing the properties of each to guarantee the necessary strength and integrity of our crates.

In addition, whenever possible, we offer our customers the option of using reusable crates for the transfer of certain works of art: over and above the lower budget, this allows them to take part in an environmentally-friendly approach by limiting wood consumption.

We have also set up a waste management system to sort, recycle and recycle each component of the crates: wood, foam, handles, screws and bolts...
