Designing pallet waste out of the construction industry supply chain

HELPING THE UK “BUILD BACK BETTER”
The creation of The Pallet LOOP™ reflects the growing desire and need – at a political, environmental and commercial level – to see businesses adopt circular economy practices. We’ve aligned our business model with the UK’s Resources and Waste Strategy. This blueprint sets out the UK Government’s ambition to eliminate avoidable waste of all kinds by 2050. The aim is to make the UK a world leader in using resources efficiently – reducing the amount of waste we create as a society and prolonging the life of the materials and goods that we use.
THERE IS NO PLANET B
The Pallet LOOP is part of a new wave of eco innovation that’s ‘creating’ sustainability and driving forward new ways of working that have less of an impact on the planet. Applying reverse logistics, we’re changing the way the construction industry uses pallets – repositioning them as a valuable resource that can be re-integrated into the construction industry supply chain.
Replacing the current linear pallet distribution model, with a truly circular green solution, our carbon net zero scheme challenges unsustainable supply chain practices and promotes a culture of pallet re-use.

RETHINKING PALLETS
We’re giving the construction industry a greener way to use pallets. Delivering a step change in distribution logistics, we’re shifting the sector away from the inefficient ‘take, make, use, throw’ model, to an approach that’s less costly from a financial and an environmental perspective. Widespread adoption of The Pallet LOOP™ across the UK construction sector has the potential to achieve up to 40% less CO2 emissions and an estimated 75% reduction in timber usage – greatly reducing the negative impact that pallets currently place on the environment and our forests.

DIFFERENT by design
LOOP pallets aren’t just green in colour; they’re also green by design. Engineered to be stronger they can be LOOPed around the construction industry, again and again.
COLLABORATING TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE
We know that creating lasting environmental change comes from a collective effort. That’s why we’re engaged with organisations that are driving forward sustainability in the wider world, but also specifically in support of UK construction’s net zero targets
