Recycling is the transformation of used materials, which otherwise would simply be waste, into valuable resources. It is a very useful way to save energy, reduce the need for landfills, save natural resources such as wood, and help maintain and protect the environment. For this reason, our production scheme not only takes care of the manufacture but also the final handling of the product, to reintroduce the waste generated in the production chain, following the "from cradle to cradle" model.

All our products are sustainable, reusable and 100% recyclable. At Nortpalet, we are happy to be able to accompany our products throughout their entire life cycle, from production and repair, until the moment of their recycling through our Buy Back Program.

At the end of their life, our pallets can be recycled to obtain again raw material that serves as the base to new products of our catalog. As part of our environmental commitment, we have incorporated into our process the handling of our products after the end of their life cycle.

At the end of their life cycle, our pallets can be recycled to obtain new raw material for new products of our catalogue. As part of our commitment with the environment, we have incorporated the handling of our products into our process when they have completed their life cycle.

The value of plastic packaging at the end of its life cycle corresponds to the material's value in the market, less the recycling costs. We commit to pay this cost to our customers for the production of new units.

We own a recycling plant located side by side with our manufacturing plant. This allows us to receive all kind of plastic products for recycling. A large share of our products is manufactured with recycled plastic, mainly PP and PEHD. We usually manage large amount of plastic pieces that have reached the end of their life cycle to transform them into new products and incorporate it again into the logistic chain.

With each of our products, we offer our recycling service to allow our customers the return of part of their investment at the end of the life cycle of our products. So we are able to ensure a sustainable cycle, minimize the environmental impact and contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
