FORESCO OPTS FOR PEFC AND RECYCLED WOOD
The origin of every new board processed by Foresco is now known. Sustainability and circularity are key themes and through a multitude of endeavours, Foresco aims to make its own processes and products as sustainable as possible. This is the reason why, since 2025, only wood that meets PEFC certification will be purchased.
CO2-NEUTRAL, 100% CIRCULAR
Wood is a raw material to be proud of; the most responsible and environmentally-friendly raw material for pallets and packaging. It is eternally renewable and never runs out. Strong, flexible, repairable and reusable. Even in the final stage, wood is a sustainable raw material: recyclable into chipboard and wood chips or usable for energy generation. We are happy to make the circular process of wood transparent for you.
TOWARDS CO2-FREE PRODUCTION
As many of our customers, we too are working towards CO2-free production. Increasing our sustainability is therefore one of the building blocks of our 2025 strategy. To achieve this, we cooperate with reputable and recognised organisations. No greenwashing, but real measures with the aim of halving our CO2emissions as soon as 2030 and being completely CO2free by 2050.
REPAIR AND REUSE OF PALLETS
The less wood we use to make new pallets, the better. Consequently, more and more of our clients are switching to used pallets. In many cases, this is a wise choice that not only has sustainability benefits, but is also more economical. Foresco collects, sorts, repairs and recycles pallets. In doing so, we contribute to the creation of the circular economy.
MAKE YOUR SUSTAINABILITY AMBITIONS A REALITY
Foresco stands for a sustainable and circular approach and is happy to help if you are serious about wanting to succeed with your sustainability ambitions. For example, with Foresco Collect, Repair & Re-use, the new platform for efficient reuse and management of pallets. Taking the EU’s revised Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and CSRD legislation into account as well. Wondering what is possible?
GENERATING OUR OWN ENERGY
If repairing wooden pallets and packaging is really no longer an option, we can still dmake use of them. Together with waste wood, they disappear into the furnaces of our three power plants. We use the heat produced in our production processes and to heat our sites. We also produce our own electricity. The heat produced in our production processes is also used to heat our sites.
