Asset Pooling
Pooling Made Simple:
Hire It. Use It. Return It.
At Viscount, we make hiring, transferring, and returning equipment simple and efficient. Whether it’s produce crates, bulk bins, or pallets, our pooling system keeps your supply chain moving; seamlessly and sustainably.
Every return cycle cuts carbon by reducing single-use packaging, shrinking transport loads, and keeping valuable materials out of landfill. It’s a smarter way to move produce and protect the planet.
Our Solutions & Services
Crates
Our Reusable Plastic Containers (RPCs) are purpose-built for New Zealand growers, packers, and retailers. With three fixed and five foldable sizes, they’re ideal for transporting and displaying fruit and vegetables across the motu. They nest or fold flat for the return trip – maximising truck space, cutting costs, and keeping packaging waste out of our landfill.
Bulk Bins
Our foldable bins are purpose-built for bulk storage and transport across Aotearoa’s produce and retail sectors. Tough enough for pumpkins, strong enough for watermelons; these bins are user-friendly and space-smart, collapsing to a 3:1 return ratio that cuts freight costs and boosts efficiency.
Pallets
Our pallets are engineered for New Zealand’s produce supply chain; robust, reliable, and ready to perform. With true four-way entry, they maximise load efficiency, streamline handling, and deliver confidence from dispatch to destination.
Asset Pooling Solutions
Efficient. Circular.
Retail-Ready.
Viscount’s closed-loop pooling system powers major supermarkets across New Zealand – streamlining logistics while slashing waste. Our Reusable Plastic Containers (RPCs) arrive washed, sanitised, and ready to load. Once your stock hits the shelves, the crates return to us for cleaning and redistribution — no hassle, no waste, just smart, sustainable movement.

Good for Producers,
Great for Retailers,
Best for the Environment
For retailers, this means improved shelf-readiness, reduced food waste, and greater supply chain efficiency through durable, sanitised, and reusable crates that support sustainability and operational excellence.
For producers, this translates to less product damage, enhanced hygiene, and more efficient logistics — that are ready to load, return, and reuse across New Zealand’s extensive and demanding fresh food supply chains.
A world without single use
No resource should ever end up in landfill. Viscount circular systems helps move the world from single use, to reuse.

Make a Sustainable Switch
Our RPCs are designed to be reused more than 140 times before being recycled, generating significantly less emissions, pollution, and water usage over their lifecycle compared to single-use cardboard alternatives. Environmental benefits are realised after just the sixth reuse cycle, with customers achieving up to a 40% reduction in CO₂ emissions annually – proof that sustainability can be simple, seamless, and high-impact.
