Less wood is more – Sustainability and recycling at PURUS PLASTICS

Sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in modern logistics and industry. An important step in this direction is reducing wood consumption in favor of reusable and recyclable materials such as plastic. PURUS PLASTICS uses plastic pallets, boxes, and cable spools made from recycled plastic to both reduce its ecological footprint and increase logistics efficiency. In this wiki article, you'll learn why "less wood is more" and how we strive to contribute to solving environmental problems.nbsp;

Why less wood?

Traditionally, wooden pallets have been used worldwide to store, transport, and protect goods. However, wood has its limitations. Especially in humid environments or under heavy use, wooden pallets are susceptible to decay, mold, and pest infestation. This not only leads to increased maintenance and disposal costs, but also to the inefficient use of resources. Another aspect is the carbon footprint of wooden pallets. The use of wood often means the felling of trees, which contributes to the destruction of habitats and the reduction of carbon sinks. Wooden pallets that can no longer be used after use often end up incinerated or landfilled, resulting in the loss of valuable resources. This is where plastic comes in. Plastic pallets from PURUS PLASTICS are not only reusable, but also durable and can be recycled multiple times. This reduces the need for new raw materials and simultaneously stops deforestation. 

Sustainability through Plastic – The benefits for the environment

PURUS PLASTICS pursues a clear vision: Less wood, more plastic – but not just any plastic, but recycled plastic. This means we actively contribute to reducing waste and promoting the circular economy. Our products are made from high-quality recycled plastic, minimizing the need for new plastic while reducing CO2 emissions. By using recycled plastic, we can not only significantly extend the lifespan of plastic products but also improve their environmental footprint. Using recycled plastic in the production of pallets, boxes, and cable spools significantly reduces energy consumption and resource input compared to producing new plastic. This is a major step towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable industry..
