PLASTIC pallet specialist Goplasticpallets.com has added an educational Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) section to its website, detailing information about its sustainable processes and policies.

The firm said it has already recycled 760 tonnes of plastic that would otherwise be destined for landfill. Goplasticpallets.com supplies pallets manufactured from used pallets and resumes responsibility for the product at the end of the pallet’s life by sending it to its recycling partner to create a closed manufacturing loop.

96% of the company’s plastic pallets are made from recycled materials. Goplasticpallets.com said its vision is to ‘alter perceptions’ of plastic and educate potential buyers about the benefits of recycled and sustainable plastic products.

MD Jim Hardisty said, “The unrivalled strength and durability of plastic is often overlooked as people are confused by messages about single-use plastics, applying them to all plastic products. This leads them to overlook the option of using plastic products sustainably with an eco-conscious focus.

“Our website now offers a wealth of detail about the process, from the manufacture of the initial pallet through to it being recycled into another pallet. We aim to have recycled 2000 tonnes of plastic pallets by 2025 and are understandably proud of our commitment as The Responsible Plastic Pallet Company. We are thrilled to be sharing some insights with both our existing and potential customers.”
