“We are delighted to announce our partnership with The Pallet LOOP as we aim to radically cut unnecessary waste. Pallets left behind after products have been removed have for a long time created a challenge, with many being unsustainably disposed of at a heavy environmental cost. By joining forces with The Pallet LOOP, we aim to significantly reduce this practice.”

“Here at CCF, we are committed to driving sustainability forwards, and working closely with building materials manufacturers is just one of the ways we are making small changes that are making a big difference. That’s why we are proud to support British Gypsum in its new partnership with The Pallet LOOP – new initiative that aims to reduce pallet waste across the construction industry.”

“At the moment, the pallets used by the construction industry are the equivalent of single-use plastics in the hospitality sector. It really isn’t acceptable that so many are used just once and then discarded each year. LOOP’s innovation to introduce a higher spec pallet that can be reused and recycled multiple times is a brilliant idea that we support 100%”

“Owning such a huge contribution to UK carbon emissions, the construction sector needs to be innovative to address this. The Pallet LOOP is a shining example of proving what can be done to turn the dial. Safer, better pallets that don’t hang around taking up valuable space in our merchant branch yards and get used time and again… Seems obvious with hindsight! As a business trying to have the most positive impact it can on the environment and society, the LOOP circular economy pallet scheme is a welcome solution that can also help us achieve this and deliver on our bottom line.”

“The Pallet LOOP works on a simple but brilliant concept – to help merchants sustainably deal with the pallets that products are delivered on, and to make money at the same time. It’s a brilliant concept, and they have built a great presence on our OnePlace platform, enabling our merchant members to see how the model works through informative videos, articles, posters, and contact information for their team. Whilst their model for collecting “white” pallets is great, it’s the green LOOP pallets that are the best idea – the move towards a fully circular economy for the humble pallet is one that can have a real impact on the environment without sacrificing profit, and we look forward to seeing the number of manufacturers using LOOP pallets grow.”

“At STARK we work with the ambition to be the preferred partner for sustainable construction.  We support sustainable forestry and want to promote circularity in the construction sector which is why we are proud to be partnering with The Pallet LOOP.  With the vast majority of pallets used in the distribution of construction materials destined for single-use, we see the pallet re-use scheme offered by The Pallet LOOP as a way to support both our own decarbonisation journey, and help our customers run efficient operations maximising reuse and recycling and minimising waste production.”

I’ve seen firsthand how easy it is to overlook something as simple as a pallet – but keeping your green pallets onsite for collection by The Pallet LOOP can make a real difference. It helps close the circular economy loop and supports the top of the waste hierarchy by prioritising reuse over disposal. Small actions like this add up to a big environmental impact. So don’t forget to stockpile your green pallets (and plain timber ones too) ready for collection. Let’s keep materials in use for as long as possible and continue the fight against waste!
