Heye International supports an initiative to plant at least 13,000 new trees – one for every single packaging order. Expanding on an innovative national forestry management initiative dating back to the 18th century, Exportverpackung Sehnde GmbH; Heye’s supplier in transport packaging solutions for equipment, is committed to minimizing and, ultimately, completely offsetting the carbon footprint of its products – wooden packaging palettes.
You might say that the obvious way to conserve the environment is not to use natural resources such wood as raw materials; after all, plastic palettes are widely available. But the simple fact is that a plastic palette has a carbon footprint of 40kg of CO2, whereas that of a wooden palette is only 27.51kg.
