Worldwide sawmills hit the brakes due to the corona crisis. On top of this, during the corona crisis, people's job frenzy came on. This confluence of circumstances leads to scarcity and a rise in timber prices.
Currently, lumber prices are at a record high in the United States. Also, supply problems are also feared by Dutch lumber dealers. There are wood species that have risen about 50% in recent months. Supply is starting to get scarcer worldwide and demand is increasing.
The increase in wood also causes an increase in wooden pallets. This could make shipping your products as an organization more expensive during 2021.
From Revopal we would like to think along to see if the wooden pallets can also be replaced by recycled cardboard Revopallets. The cardboard pallets will soon offer you not only a more sustainable alternative, but also a cheaper one. Also, the Revopallet contributes to easing labor due to its light weight (+/- 3.7 kg). Other important advantages of the Revopallet are:
- No ISPM-15 (HT) treatment required (Globally deployable e.g. BREXIT UK)
- Recycled cardboard
- Recyclable pallet
- Lightweight 3.7KG
- Labor relieving for your employees
- Co2 savings (reducing your transport weight)
- Socially responsible production
- Environmentally friendly waste stream for your end customer
- No exchange system or administrative burden
- Circular economy
- No splinters or nails
- Shock absorbing
- Standard sizes & your own custom Revopallet
- More efficient storage (nested stacking)
Should you be interested in using recycled cardboard Revopallets we would be happy to get in touch with you.
