The company was rewarded for its ongoing efforts to change how building materials are delivered throughout the UK.
The Pallet LOOP is celebrating after winning a top Sustainability Award from the Builders Merchants Federation.
The Pallet LOOP beat off stiff competition from long-established industry players to win the BMF's 2022 Sustainability Award at the BMF Annual Members Conference and Awards, on Thursday 15 September, at at St George's Park, Burton on Trent,
Paul Lewis, Founder, The Pallet LOOP, said: "The theme of this year's BMF Conference Awards was Aspire, Innovate and Thrive. These three words neatly sum up our business and everything we are trying to achieve.
"At The Pallet LOOP, we aspire to change how building materials are delivered throughout the UK. We're doing that with an innovative circular economy model, that will enable all businesses – throughout the construction industry – to thrive, while also doing the right thing for the planet.
"To be recognised by the BMF as a business that will drive fundamental, positive change in the sector – at this stage in our development – is absolutely amazing."
John Newcomb, BMF CEO, said: "Sustainability is a core element of the work of the BMF and its members, so this is a hugely significant win for The Pallet LOOP. As manufacturers and merchants, BMF members are in the vanguard of the supply chain and have a vital role to play in championing and delivering the changes necessary for success in the move to zero carbon. We appreciate the work The Pallet LOOP is doing in supporting our industry's transformation."
The Pallet LOOP is the construction industry's first ever circular economy, carbon net zero, pallet reuse scheme. On a mission to transform the way building materials are distributed across Great Britain and Ireland, the business has designed a range of distinctive green, 100% FSC pallets that have been engineered to last, and can be used again and again.
Ahead of its pallets being rolled out in early 2023, The Pallet LOOP has organised a series of working groups with BMF members. Attended by key players from different vertical sectors across the construction industry, these meetings have given participants a chance to discuss how The Pallet LOOP works and the collective benefits it will bring to businesses and the construction sector as a whole.
The Pallet LOOP was also a runner up in the BMF Service Member Engagement Award.
