In December 2013, academics from Leeds University calculated Santa’s carbon footprint for successfully delivering stockings to seven million UK homes. It worked out at around nine tonnes of CO2 per stocking (UK annual CO2 emissions are roughly seven tonnes per person).
Cancel Christmas!
A step too far? So why not do something far less dramatic to reduce emissions and potentially save both cash and CO2 for your business this Christmas and for many to come.
Make Rudolph happy
A change of pallet can really make a difference. With a typical weight saving of circa 20KG versus it’s wooden equivalent, Pallite® can save as much as a tonne in weight for each journey by road and the savings by air are enough to make Santa Claus let out a “Ho Ho Ho!” and make the reindeer give a big sigh of relief!
Santa’s little helper
The Alternative Pallet Company Ltd have worked with Cranfield University to create a decision making tool which aims to evaluate the environmental and economic impact of pallet type choice in the freight handling and transport arena. The model is great for companies looking to compare the cost and CO2 savings of switching from a traditional pallet to Pallite®. We look forward to sharing this info with potential customers.
Do you want to have to use a tinsel tree?
Pallite® is manufactured from 80% recycled paper and PVA glue at our factory in Wellingborough; less trees are therefore felled as a result of our production. Wooden pallets will continue to dominate the market in the short term, but with ever-increasing usage and 65 million new pallets used in the UK each year, it means that we MUST find suitable alternatives.
Making sure you get what you want
We want you to be over the moon with your Pallite® choice and to ensure this our manufacturing methods are able to make the right Pallite® every time. The shape, size and dimensions can be generated to satisfy your needs. We can even provide boxes and component parts to really add the personal touch.
Add us to your wish list
So in the build up to Christmas why not add Pallite® to your list of “must have” presents. Whether you are trying to help the environment, satisfy a customer need or simply reduce transport costs then we believe that we can be of assistance. But please remember – a Pallite® is not just for Christmas so we would be really pleased to speak to you today.
In fact, with Pallite®, every day can be Christmas!
