Our range of paper-based protective packaging, EcoLITE, offers businesses a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to polystyrene and plastic that can help them to reduce their carbon footprint, eliminate waste and become more circular. A lightweight innovative packaging and void fill, EcoLITE draws its protective properties from the same honeycomb cell technology that features in all our high-quality, paper-based products. Pound-for-pound honeycomb paper cardboard is stronger than steel, providing excellent protection, cushion and absorb shock. EcoLITE has been designed to fit within a circular economy. Fully recyclable after use, and made form 100% recycled materials, in line with the ethos on which we have built our business. Find out more about our sustainability credentials and our commitments to the world around us, as well as how other products in the PALLITE® range could help you reach your sustainability goals. Available in 15mm, 18mm, 25mm and 50mm depths as standard, EcoLITE can be sold on pallets by the sheet or cut to bespoke designs. EcoLITE’s flexibility and wide range of uses make it an ideal product for use in a variety of industrial applications. A Paper and Packaging Board (PPB) survey found 71% were more likely to buy from brands that packaged their products in paper or cardboard. The ‘unboxing’ trend on social media is testament to the power of paper-based packaging to create a positive user experience equivalent to the pleasure gained from shopping in-store.

Sustainable pallets offer a perfect alternative to wood that are exempt from ISPM15. No costly heat treatment or concerns over how to stop any mould growth or blue stain on the timber, PALLITE® pallets come ready to use and are 100% recyclable. PALLITE® pallets start from just over 4kg, which makes them around 20kg lighter than their wooden pallet counterparts. This means you’ll save money on fuel when travelling by road, as well on the cost of shipping and air freighting consignments, where the price may be weight dependent. And thanks to lighter loads, you’ll also reduce the amount of potentially harmful emissions produced by transporting your goods, helping to save the planet. All our products are made from between 80% – 100% recycled materials from carefully managed sources. When you think of paper, durability may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but paper pallets are incredibly strong. The unique honeycomb cell structure of the cardboard transforms this simple material into a pallet, strong enough to hold up to 750kg in open beam racking. UK and EURO sized pallets available. Standard Pallet Typical use - single trip / dedicated / one-way Can carry up to 500kg in open beam racking Standard + Pallet Typical use - single trip / dedicated / one-way Can carry up to 750kg in open beam racking PREMIUM PALLETS with full frame and added protection Typical use - network / home delivery / multi-trip Can carry up to 500kg in open beam racking Premium + Pallet Typical use - network / home delivery / multi-trip Can carry up to 750kg in open beam racking

Carburizing is a thermochemical heat treatment process for hardening steel components in which the surface hardness is increased by the addition of carbon. The aim here is to increase wear resistance in order to achieve a longer component service life. Low-pressure carburizing in the vacuum furnace with the CARB PLUS system is carried out using acetylene. This case hardening process is carried out at low pressures and temperatures in the range of up to 1070°C. Benefit from the man advantages of low-pressure carburizing compared to conventional carburizing processes!
