Across different industries – from manufacturing and construction to logistics and automotive – stakeholders are increasingly seeking holistic insights into the environmental implications of their decisions, which has seen a steep growth in Life Cycle Analysis (LCA).
In 2023, cost savings in the logistics industry are now more critical than ever. Fuel and machinery market price increases and many other budgetary pressures are pushing up operational costs across the sector. Now, across the supply chain, organisations are doubling down to find ways to reduce their logistics and transportation costs – especially when it comes to exporting goods.
For many years we have taken great pride in the fact that we are champions for sustainability across the logistics sector – whether that’s down to the products we supply, our pioneering recycling scheme (over 1,000 tonnes of plastic recycled already, by the way!), our accreditation from the Environment Agency, or the work we do […]

If you attended IMHX last month, you would have seen how much automation dominated the event and how much the technology has advanced.
From self-guided robots to intelligent forklifts, the modern supply chain is going to rely heavily on this technology to drive efficiencies in the future.
If you work in logistics, you will almost certainly be familiar with plastic pallet wrap (aka shrink wrap or stretch wrap). It has been around for decades, and this highly stretchable plastic film is actually a relatively high-cost solution to secure palletised goods (usually solid items) and ensure they remain fully secure during transit. Millions of metres of plastic wrap are used and disposed of annually in the supply chain.
But what if there was a better solution?
The primary purpose of packaging is to protect goods during storage or transit. Here, Jim Hardisty, Managing Director of Goplasticpallets.com explains how plastic pallets, pallet boxes, containers, trays, and crates not only provide ultimate protection for goods, but how they are a reliable, reusable, and hygienic packaging solution.
Jim Hardisty, Managing Director of Goplasticpallets.com – The Responsible Plastic Pallet Company says that organisations and consumers need to fully embrace a plastic circular economy sooner rather than later to help tackle plastic pollution.
In a recent article published on Circular online, the Sustainability Director at The Consumer Goods Forum, Ignacio Gavilan, highlighted the need to make a plastic circular economy the norm.
