CONSTRUCTION firms, housebuilders, and builders merchants across Scotland using The Pallet LOOP will now get their pallets picked up faster, as the business introduces a free three-day collection service option.
With immediate effect, all collections booked via The Pallet LOOP’s nationwide recovery network will be completed within three working days. Through this scheme, businesses earn £2 to £4 for every LOOP pallet that is returned, ensuring they are continually reused, while also reducing construction waste.
Part of timber and forestry business BSW Group, The Pallet LOOP previously offered two collection possibilities; a three-day service (with a £100 fee); and a free ten-day option.
LOOP’s free three-day service now becomes the default. Simplifying the collection service is tipped to support the construction industry by reducing storage requirements and enhancing sustainability.
Andy Williamson, MD of The Pallet LOOP, said, “Offering a prompt collection service is another critical step to closing the loop on pallet waste and delivering on our circular economy model. No one wants to see LOOP pallets laying around, taking up valuable space.
“By guaranteeing collection within three business days, we’re making life easier for customers and ensuring pallets get back into circulation where they belong, as quickly as possible. It’s an operational shift that shows us stepping up a gear, which is ultimately a win for the circular economy, building materials supply chain and the environment.”
With The Pallet LOOP’s three-day service, the collection of 50 or more pallets (green and white) is free, but collections of under 50 pallets will incur a £100 charge, while each standard white pallet returned will also cost £2.
