Trends
Evolving trends & realities in EU markets
Launched in March 2011, the Kyoto Memorandum is the EC Roadmap basis for working towards a low-carbon bio-economy. In accordance with their existing laws, EU countries must implement those requirements into their national legal systems, the objective being an 80% reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.
Part of the objective is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through packaging and other industry standards. Packaging, including pallets will need to meet all future determined environmental aspects, such as being pest; insecticide; bacteria; virus and other health-risk factors free.
Cardboard pallets being made from recyclable corrugate are labelled as organic products. Corrugated cardboard is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century, and industry in general will derive huge benefits from this.
Industries are looking to reduce the number of logistical operations of goods, and that all the way through from production to the point of sale.
The cardboard pallet trend has also been confirmed by one of the world’s largest furniture producers - IKEA. Since March 2012, IKEA have replaced wooden pallets weighing 25 kilos with “one-time” use corrugated cardboard pallets, weighing just 3 kilos!
Corrugated cardboard is one of the few packaging materials approved by the European Commission, for packaging and packaging waste.
