Forest preservation by reusing pallets before their destruction
There is no small action if it favors environmental conservation and circular economy dynamics, and the reuse of resources is a clear example. Multisac reuses pallets that have already been used by other companies or organizations, thus reducing the purchase of new pallets when the supply we make allows us to do so.
In addition, we have established agreements with some of our customers and other companies to remove pallets from their facilities that would otherwise have to be destroyed for further use, thereby reducing wood consumption and carbon footprint.
Benefits
- For the collaborating company: Reduction of the cost for appropriate waste management involved in destroying the pallets.
- For Multisac: To reconvert and reduce the economic cost of purchasing pallets into a lower logistical cost of collecting used pallets, thus promoting the circular economy.
- For the whole world:
- Reduction of wood consumption and environmental impact, thus helping to conserve our forests. Studies have concluded that the wood from one tree is needed to build 4 or 5 pallets, so by encouraging the reuse of pallets, we are helping to conserve thousands of trees annually.
- Promoting our particular resource-efficient circular economy.
- Reduction of the environmental impact, since the alternative of material (recycling) or energy (incineration) recovery of used pallets has an associated emissions factor that can be saved in the case of reusing pallets already used by other local companies without any transformation.
