DESCRIPTION:Presentation\nSustainable wooden packaging and standardisation
as opportunities to mitigate waste and material handling in manufacturing
businesses \n(UK supply chain reduces supply risk and transport impact)\n
\nThursday 15.00 to 15.15\, Stage 1\n \nSpeaker: Lianne Richards - Head of
Business Development - Scott Pallets\n \nAbout this presentation\nWooden
pallets and packaging play a significant role in the journey towards decar
bonisation by offering a sustainable alternative to plastic and metal mate
rials. Made from renewable resources\, wood is biodegradable and can be re
cycled multiple times\, reducing landfill waste and lowering the carbon fo
otprint associated with production and disposal. As manufacturers face new
packaging waste regulations\, there is a greater emphasis on using materi
als that can be recycled at the end of their life cycle. These regulations
encourage sustainable practices and aim to reduce overall packaging waste
\, prompting businesses to adopt eco-friendly solutions. \n \nPartnering w
ith a specialist who can review packaging and pallet utilisation is an exc
ellent strategy for businesses looking to lessen their environmental impac
t. Such partnerships can lead to the standardisation of materials and proc
esses\, while also proposing tailored solutions that maximise the efficien
cy and effectiveness of packaging used. This approach not only enhances su
stainability but also optimises operational costs. Furthermore\, utilising
a UK supply chain for wooden pallets minimises transport miles\, signific
antly cutting down greenhouse gas emissions related to logistics. By sourc
ing materials locally\, businesses can support responsible forestry practi
ces\, ensuring that the wood is harvested sustainably and ethically\, thus
contributing to the preservation of ecosystems.\n \nLianne Richards - Che

About this presentation
Wooden pallets and packaging play a significant role in the jour
ney towards decarbonisation by offering a sustainable alternative to plast
ic and metal materials. Made from renewable resources\, wood is biodegrada
ble and can be recycled multiple times\, reducing landfill waste and lower
ing the carbon footprint associated with production and disposal. As manuf
acturers face new packaging waste regulations\, there is a greater emphasi
s on using materials that can be recycled at the end of their life cycle.
These regulations encourage sustainable practices and aim to reduce overal
l packaging waste\, prompting businesses to adopt eco-friendly solutions.
Partnering with a specialist who can
review packaging and pallet utilisation is an excellent strategy for busin
esses looking to lessen their environmental impact. Such partnerships can
lead to the standardisation of materials and processes\, while also propos
ing tailored solutions that maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of p
ackaging used. This approach not only enhances sustainability but also opt
imises operational costs. Furthermore\, utilising a UK supply chain for wo
oden pallets minimises transport miles\, significantly cutting down greenh
ouse gas emissions related to logistics. By sourcing materials locally\, b
usinesses can support responsible forestry practices\, ensuring that the w
ood is harvested sustainably and ethically\, thus contributing to the pres
ervation of ecosystems.
