This contractor has become an early adopter of a sustainable supply chain initiative to make their use of pallets become circular and cut waste.

‘The Pallet LOOP’ is a reusable model which transforms how building materials move throughout the supply chain.

The Loop pallets are distinctive, green, 100% FSC pallets, stronger than existing designs. They are distributed to manufacturers, who transport products on them to construction sites after paying a deposit per pallet. As pallets move through the supply chain, the deposit passes from manufacturer to merchant to end user. After being stacked and stored The Pallet LOOP collects them, reducing site clutter and returns deposits.

Widespread adoption of The Pallet LOOP across the construction sector could achieve approximately 40% less CO2 emissions and an estimated 75% reduction in timber usage.
