By recovering and re-using their pallets, XXX hope to significantly reduce their requirement for the purchase of new pallets. This fits perfectly with their environmental policy.

XXX’s customers will benefit from a convenient and auditable method for pallet return. Many XXX customers are currently progressing with their own ‘Environmental Initiatives’ and this service dovetails nicely with their objectives in that area, including cost savings on packaging waste disposal.
