    HEC-Holland is looking for sustainable solutions

    /

    Sustainable solutions HEC-Holland is always looking for sustainable solutions and ways to reduce its carbon footprint. A few months ago, we started testing wood fiber pallets in our warehouse in Tilburg. Wood fiber pallets are a possible environmental friendly substitute to wood pallets. Wood fiber pallets have both sustainable and logistical advantages. The first advantage is in the material of the pallet. By compressing the wooden fibers, we can load our containers more efficiently and thus create less unused space. In addition, this material is made from wood waste, meaning these pallets are made of 100% recycled material. At the end of their lifespan the pallets will be recycled to create a new product. Next to the material, the form of the pallets makes it possible to stack the pallets. By stacking these pallets we need 70% less room in comparison to standard wooden pallets. The transportation of the pallets is more efficient this way since we need less transportation. It also means lower carbon emission and in addition, saves storage space in our warehouse.  Finally, our pallets are more safe for our staff, our client’s staff and the products. And there are no nails or sharp edges, which traditional pallets might have. This can potentially damage the product. Our priority was creating more sustainable solutions for our slitting facility, but in the process it also creates a lot more other advantages for our company which is a big plus. Conclusion When looking at the previous points we will further investigate the possibility of using the pallets as part of our quest for sustainable solutions. We not only use them for lightweight products, but will also use them for heavy loads. Monitoring this testing process is key and we believe that these pallets could replace the standard wooden pallets for some of our products. We are always looking into innovations and developments which can help us to be more aware of the environment. If you are familiar with sustainable solutions, you can always get in contact with us.
