The Environmental Benefits of Palletower’s Shift to UK Production of Collapsible Plastic Box Pallets
- Blog
- Company News
The environmental benefits of Palletower’s decision to shift production and moulding of its budget model collapsible plastic box pallet (PB484039/BM) from China to the UK cannot be overstated. One of the most significant benefits is the reduction in carbon emissions.
Shipping products from China to the UK can produce a significant amount of carbon emissions. These emissions come from the transportation of goods by air, sea or road. By shifting production and moulding of the box pallet to the UK, Palletower is eliminating the need to transport these products long distances. This will result in a significant reduction in carbon emissions and help Palletower reduce its costs, making their collapsible plastic box pallet the best value for money in the UK.
Additionally, the box pallet is made from a composite of virgin and recycled plastic. Using recycled plastic in the manufacturing process reduces the need for new plastic production, which can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of new plastic. Moreover, the plastic used in the manufacturing process is durable and long-lasting, which means that the box pallet can be used repeatedly over a long period, reducing the need for constant production and waste.
At the end of its long lifespan, the box pallet can be fully recycled, giving a closed-loop lifecycle without waste products. This is an important environmental benefit as plastic waste is a significant problem globally. By reducing the amount of plastic waste generated, Palletower is playing an important role in protecting the environment. Not only are there environmental benefits, but it also passes benefits onto the customer:
- They are the best value/lowest cost on the UK market
- Thousands of units are in stock at any time and can be immediately despatched
- Bespoke manufacturing is available to brand the boxes to match your company colours and mould logos on them to help prevent loss or theft
In conclusion, Palletower’s decision to shift production and moulding of its budget model collapsible plastic box pallet to the UK from China has several environmental benefits. By reducing carbon emissions, using recycled plastic, and providing a closed-loop lifecycle, Palletower is making a positive contribution to protecting the environment.
