The Pallet LOOP™ is a transformational, circular economy, pallet re-use scheme that's on a mission to eliminate avoidable pallet waste in the UK construction sector. Founded by some of the biggest names in the UK pallet industry, The Pallet LOOP, which is due for launch in November 2021 and operational roll out in 2022, will provide construction companies with a greener, safer, leaner way of transporting building materials. Shifting the sector away from the current pallet practice of ‘deliver, distribute and discard' to the principles of ‘recover, repair, reuse', The Pallet LOOP will incentivise pallet returns via a cost-effective, easy-to-administer, deposit-based system. Adoption of The Pallet LOOP across UK construction has the potential to achieve up to 40% less CO2 emissions and an estimated 75% reduction in timber usage. This will greatly reduce the burden pallets place on the environment and our forests, increasing the industry's contribution to national zero waste and zero carbon ambitions. The Pallet Loop is a member of the UK Green Building Council; the Construction Products Association; and the Builders Merchants Federation. The Pallet LOOP also has Construct Zero Business Champion status – awarded by the UK Government Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy.
