7 Effective Ways to Create a Green Supply Chain

Green supply chain management has become a critical topic of discussion in recent years, as more businesses strive to incorporate environmentally responsible practices into their supply chain operations. For instance, according to the recent European Logistics Supply Chain Sustainability Report, four in five companies have said that reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the next five years is a key focus area. This approach not only showcases a company’s green credentials, but it can also help to reduce costs in the long run.

Plastic pallets help retailers keep up with the boom in online sales

Over the last decade, e-commerce has grown rapidly. In 2020, e-commerce sales totalled £111 billion in the UK, and accounted for 27.6% of total retail sales, up from £75 billion (19.2% of retail sales) in 2019.

The global Covid-19 pandemic, Brexit, and a skills shortage have been catalysts for even quicker growth in the last two years. To keep up with this demand, many retailers have increased the level of automation in their operations – in both their warehouses and for distribution – to improve the speed and efficiency of deliveries. 

The benefits of automating palletising with robots and plastic pallets

For many years manual labour and conventional systems have been the method of choice for palletising goods, but modern manufacturing is causing a shift. With the growing demand for faster, more efficient and cost effective production lines, manufacturers are shifting away from conventional palletising methods, turning instead to robotic palletising solutions.
