Pallets pick up green award

Pallet producer and pallet pooling supplier, FHG, has won a 'Green' award for its sustainable pallets from De Telegraaf in the Netherlands. The pallet manufacturer was ranked third in the annual 'greenest company in the Netherlands' awards, decided by a judging panel from De Telegraaf's Top 100 Green Companies.

Ingrid Faber, CEO of FHG, said: "This prize is a huge honour for our company. We feel it is important to make a contribution to society via sustainable pallets and a socially responsible production process." FHG says when a pallet reaches the end of its life cycle, the wood is used for other purposes such as chipboard production, biomass or bio-energy generation; meaning the pallet manufacturer creates a continuous loop in its pallet-pooling activities.
