The process of Tray Washing could be one of the most overlooked factor of many firms that carry food and other products into and around the supply chain. 
Traceability of all goods within the supply chain, even those that carry the produce has to be managed, as well as the associated tray washing and management of the Plastic Returnable Trays.
