Pallet pooling
Sustainable savings through open pooling systems
PAKi Logistics recently conducted a life cycle analysis to compare the environmental impact of different pallet systems. The results of the study, conducted by RDC Environment, show that PAKi's open pooling system enables savings in CO₂ emissions, fossil resources and wood consumption. A CO₂ calculator has now been added to the PAKi website, which shows possible CO₂ savings by using PAKi's pallet pooling system.
According to the study, the use of PAKi's open pooling system leads to a reduction in CO₂ emissions of 8 to 24 percent per use compared to other pooling systems and 78 percent compared to disposable pallets. The main factors behind these savings are the improved logistics processes made possible by the open pooling model, as well as the sustainable use and reuse of the pallets.
The study, which complies with international ISO 14044:2006 standards, was reviewed by an independent panel of experts and confirms the environmental benefits of PAKi's open pooling model. The analysis covers the entire life cycle of a product range - from raw material extraction, production and use through to end-of-life processing.
CO₂ Calculator identifies opportunities to reduce emissions
With the CO₂ Calculator created by PAKi, the logistics company offers customers an assessment of the potential reduction of their carbon footprint on its website. By recording CO₂ emissions from production to reuse, the tool enables companies to ecologically evaluate and optimize their logistics processes and thus take targeted measures to reduce emissions.
