The BlueCode app is designed to be used to spot and report Brambles’ pallets, crates, kegs and containers that have moved outside the controlled lanes where our equipment normally moves. We manage, maintain, transport, and supply more than 400 million pallets, crates, kegs and containers for our customers. The recovery of our equipment is crucial in ensuring that we can help reduce waste and carbon emissions, protect and preserve the use of limited natural resources, reduce product damage, increase the world’s food supply, and improve the safety and working conditions within established and emerging supply chains.
