Repairable, Reusable, Recyclable

Timber pallets and packaging are easily repairable and reusable – setting them apart from the competition/ They also have huge recycling benefits

Once at the end of its useful life, wooden pallets and packaging can economically be shredded for the panel board, animal bedding, equestrian and energy generation industries.

Wooden pallets and packaging can also be recycled into a wide range of surfacing products, which provide protective and decorative ground cover and are often used around play equipment and to create bridleways and walkways. There are a number of major energy generation schemes using wood waste under development in the UK.

In the US, researchers are working to convert recycled wooden pallets into polished wooden floors.
