RECOVERY PURPOSE UK construction industry generates millions of pallets every year. Too many end up as waste in landfill. We’re committed to supporting housebuilders to change this on their journey to becoming carbon neutral, achieving net-zero Co2 emissions. Our award-winning, national pallet recovery, repair and reuse service promotes circular economy principles throughout the construction industry supply chain.
THE ENVIRONMENT We work to the principles set out in the ‘waste management hierarchy’. We optimise the use and reuse of bespoke timber pallets and packaging, in line with the UK’s
Resources and Waste Strategy, which sets out the government’s ambition to eliminate avoidable waste of all kinds by 2050.
OUR NATIONWIDE SERVICE In collaboration with all parts of housebuilding supply chain, we facilitate the recovery, repair and reuse of bespoke timber pallets and packaging to enable multiple trip usage and minimise waste. Our industry experience as the UK’s largest pallet manufacturer, and our understanding of complex supplychain relationships, optimises pallet recovery and repair rates. Our unique nationwide network of recovery hubs minimises transportation and enables us
