FOR THE BASE OF THE WALL, WE ARE USING A TIMBER SHIPPING PALLET. THROUGH THE TRANSPORTATION OF MOVING CONSUMER ITEMS TO DISTRIBUTERS, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THESE PALLETS WILL BE CRUSHED AND DISCARDED AS A CONSEQUENCE. FOR EVERY ONE TONNE OF PRODUCT THAT REACHES US AS CONSUMERS, 30 TONNES OF WASTE IS PRODUCED THROUGH THE MANUFACTURING AND TRANSPORT PROCESS – ADDITIONALLY, 98% OF THESE PRODUCTS ARE DISCARDED WITHIN SIX MONTHS. 

        USUALLY, THESE PRODUCTS ARE TURNED INTO MULCH OR KINDLING FIREWOOD, HOWEVER, A COMPANY OUT OF DANDENONG SOUTH HAVE BEEN RECONDITIONING AND REPURPOSING THESE OTHERWISE REDUNDANT PALLETS. WASTE CONVERTERS WILL ‘REPLACE ANY MISSING BOARDS AND LOOSE BOARDS NAILED. WE CAN ALSO PROVIDE YOUR COMPANY LOGO IF REQUIRED.’

        FURTHERMORE, SHIPPING PALLETS HAVE BEEN RECENTLY BEEN USED FOR DOMESTIC PURPOSES TO CREATE LOUNGES, TABLES ETC. A GROWING COMMUNITY OF RECYCLERS EVEN HAVE COMPETITIONS TO DEMONSTRATE THE UNIQUE AND CREATIVE WAYS THEY HAVE REPURPOSED TIMBER PALLETS.
