CASE STUDY – PAREX
Challenge
Sending cement bags on one-way timber pallets to local companies, and timber pallets short-lifetime meant it was not worth returning; incurring high lifetime cost and large carbon footprint from using hardwood timber (needed for strength)
Solution
Choosing Re>Pal’s HD1210 as a strong, heavy duty pallet which has a long life and therefore excellent lifetime value, suitable for and worth backhauling to ensure maximum value is obtained from the pallet. In addition the long pallet life ensures a lower overall carbon footprint from using Re>Pal.
“The need for businesses to be eco-friendly and sustainable is increasing. This is because of the realization that going beyond environmental compliance makes good business sense and improves the chances of long-term success.
As a member of the Green Building Council in the Philippines we understand our own corporate objectives to have a light environmental footprint and we advocate to look for sustainable products in our supply chain wherever possible. This is the reason why Parex Group has decided to partner with Re>Pal for that common Sustainability Goal”
