RTI Baltic Standard proposal (Dimensions of 3 crates set for Dairy produce)
Since 2007 Manufacturers and Retailers have been trying to come to agreement on unification and pooling of returnable transport items within ECR Baltic (Efficient Consumer Response Initiative in the Baltic States) framework. The current economic situation simply forces us to maintain and develop our supply chain in a sustainable and cost effective way.
Thus according to September – December 2011 RTI (Returnable Transport Items) Initiative meetings in Riga and Vilnius with participation of major retailers (Maxima, Rimi, Palink and Prisma) and dairy/meat manufacturers (Valio, Rakvere, Valmieras Piens, Rīgas piena kombināts, Rīgas piensaimnieks, Pieno Zvaigzdes, Zemaitijos Pienas) it was decided to start unification with dairy produce categories by implementing 3 crates set for standardization of dairy produce followed by crates set for meat, bakery, fruits and vegetables. As a second step towards unification is to agree on dimensions of proposed “Baltic Standard for Returnable Transport Items” followed by examining business models and tendering 
potential solution providers for specific crates solutions, pool and RTI management services.
IMPORTANT: If you are dairy / near dairy manufacturer/supplier, please carefully examine the attached letter with table of proposed dimensions of the “Baltic Standard for Returnable Transport Items” (Dairy produce 3 crates set). On behalf of ECR Baltic RTI unification initiative members we would like to ask you to give us a written answer if proposed standard covers your product range by 1st of February?
