Introducing The Pallet LOOP

Delivering pallet circularity across UK and Ireland construction

We are a team of eco-innovators. Challenging the status quo, we’ve repositioned the humble construction industry pallet as a valuable reusable packaging solution that can be used again and again.

Our vision is simple. We see a future with no pallet waste. A future where discarded pallets are a thing of the past, and every pallet is circulated and collected for reuse, multiple times.

Our story

From the start, everyone agreed that The Pallet LOOP was a great idea and that change was needed to help solve the age-old problem posed by pallet waste.

How LOOP started…

The Pallet LOOP was founded in 2019 by a team of experts with a long history in pallet manufacturing and supply chain logistics. Recognising waste is no longer tolerated, we created a groundbreaking pallet distribution model for UK construction. Instead of the traditional linear supply chain, we introduced a circular economy pallet reuse scheme with incentivised pallet returns to prevent millions of pallets from being discarded each year.

Making change happen…

Driving change isn’t always easy. From the seed of an idea to the roll out of green pallets, it’s been a long journey, but the results speak for themselves.

Everyone we spoke to agreed that LOOP was a great idea and that pallet waste was a serious issue. By 2021, many of the biggest names in UK construction had signed The Pallet LOOP Charter – recognising the need for permanent change and committing to work together to find a solution.

How it’s going…

By late 2023 we had secured our first customer, British Gypsum (part of Saint Gobain). In June 2024, our distinctive green pallets began rolling out across the sector – and we’re just getting started. As part of BSW Group, the UK’s largest forestry and timber group, we’re actively engaging with other manufacturers to close the LOOP on pallet waste. Find out more about the impact our reusable pallets and pallet collection service are now having across UK and Ireland construction.

Why LOOP?

There are countless reasons to get in the LOOP:

Pallets that are different by design

Built by leading wooden pallet manufacturer, Scott Pallets, our construction industry pallets are engineered to be stronger and safer. They follow a standardised design that enables consistently safe lifting and loading. They’re also smarter, featuring RFID tags that help us accurately monitor pallet issues, pallet recovery and pallet reuse rates, and provide our customers with important sustainability data.

Money back for pallets

Using LOOP’s circular economy pallets can save building material manufacturers and their customers vast amounts of money. Our pallet collection service works out much cheaper than throwing pallets into wood skips – and we offer a financial incentive with a PayBack of up to £4 available for every green pallet we recover for repair and reuse.

Get in the LOOP

Committed to sustainable collaboration

Moving sustainability forwards requires collaboration and creativity. From the outset we’ve worked closely with companies throughout the building materials supply chain to define a circular economy pallet reuse model that’s equitable for everyone. As a team we remain committed to cooperating with the sector, its trade bodies and government to close the LOOP on pallet waste, for good.

Careers

Closing the LOOP on pallet waste

We are in a climate emergency. The race to carbon net zero by 2040 is on, and UK and Ireland construction has ambitious targets to hit. There are significant challenges ahead. Big adjustments are required, but small changes – like how we transport materials – matter, too. Discover how our circular economy pallets and nationwide pallet collection service are making a difference in UK and Ireland construction, supporting zero waste and advancing carbon net zero goals.

Our impact

The Pallet LOOP network

We operate a wide network of pallet manufacturing and pallet collection hubs in conjunction with Scott Pallets and CJ Sheeran – both leading timber pallet manufacturers. Our green pallets are manufactured at multiple locations for fast and efficient delivery.

When it comes to collecting pallets, our pallet pick up service spans the length and breadth of the UK and Ireland – providing an easy way to remove of unwanted pallets.

Join the circular pallet revolution

Get in the LOOP and you’ll be in great company. A number of leading manufacturers already use our reuseable pallets to transport its plaster plasterboard and insulation products and we’re in advanced discussions with other building material manufacturers that want to go green. We’re also collecting pallets from some of the biggest names in the building business.
