Production of EPAL pallets in the UK rose by 14 per cent last year, the company said. These figures follow an increase of 22 per cent during 2008, bringing BREPAL’s annual production to 1.3 million pallets within the UK and Ireland.
It said that while this remained a small percentage of the 70 million pallets that pallet pool EPAL produced annually worldwide, or the 500 million EPAL pallets in current circulation, it showed a growing trend towards supporting local manufacture.
