Until recently, pallets were considered as "disposable tools“, destined to be abandoned after the first use.
Despite their precious help to the world of construction and shipments, it had not been possible to find a way to reuse them. The long and tortuous recycling process scares most producers. With the invention of LOOP, the solution seems to be one step closer.
LOOP is a product created by Scott Group, that aims to reduce waste generated by the system. Above all, the project aims to create a new pallet production and collection mechanism.
To understand its importance, that's enough think that in the world, less than 10% of products are reused.
To satisfy the growing demand, every year they are collected approximately 2500 hectares of forestry. Considering that almost none of this is then recycled, it waste it really is impressive.
Loop and the pallet revolution
The system developed by LOOP, points to the reuse almost complete with pallets.
If all goes well, emissions will be reduced by 40% and the use of wood by 75%.
Everything that is required of the producers to enter to be part of the LOOP system, is one initial deposit amount. The pallet can then begin its reuse process.
After satisfying the customers (when the pallet has done its job) the commissions are collected and then moved to a new recycling system. The products undergo a “natural refill" which allows him to return on the market stronger than before. Indeed, it is also said that have better performance in terms of loading and lifting compared to their counterparts Wood.
LOOP could bring many together producers in the world of reuse, saving the environment effort and trees. A project worth keeping an eye on.
