Question 16

How do I get rid of Blue Pallets?

Answer

Unfortunately, as Blue pallets are owned by the CHEP company, we’re unable to help you destroy or remove Blue Pallets. However, we do recommend reading CHEP’s own advice on how these can be dealt with. Alternatively, be sure to contact your local CHEP office or the company you obtained them off for further information.

Question 17

What is the significance of Blue or Red Pallets?

Answer

The significance tends to be down to the brand that manufacturers the pallet. Blue pallets are known around the world to be from CHEP, and red pallets are commonly from IPP. Each may have specific markings or stamps on the wood to indicate certain treatments the pallet has received. These pallets are rented rather than sold and cannot be traded. Both companies have strict enforcement policies to prevent misuse and trading so if you find yourself in possession of a blue or red pallet, please contact their offices to return them.

Question 18

Do I need to count second-hand pallets in my packaging waste regulations submission?

Second hand pallets are exempt of packaging waste regulations and only new ones require counting. If you would like to know more about how pallets effect your waste regulations submission, please give us a call today on 0115 8965460.
