The 100 per cent recycled plastic logistics pallets are for Nestle’s Tanauan warehouse, and this is the first time the company has used the Re>Pal product.
Re>Pal has worked with Nestle to manufacture 100 per cent recycled plastic pallets and meet its vision to include as much recycled and recyclable material as possible in its supply chain by 2025.
Range Managing Director Stephen Bowhill said Nestle’s continued orders are part of the consumer giant’s move towards a more sustainable future.
“Nestle’s continued orders are being driven by its desire to reduce virgin plastic use as well as transition away from timber pallets,” he said.
“We are delighted to be able to help Nestle transition towards a more sustainable future with our long-life 100 per cent recycled plastic pallets,” the MD continued.
The pallets are expected to be delivered between January and March 2021. Nestle’s payment terms are standard 60 days from delivery.
