Pallet Wrap Archives - Load Stability

Carpetright, the UK’s leading flooring retailer, has made significant strides in reducing plastic usage and CO2 emissions thanks to Castle Industrial. In an interview with Pete Newby, Distribution Site Manager, and Daniel Burt, Operations Manager, Carpetright reveals how Castle Industrial has helped optimize their pallet wrapping operations.

Carpetright was looking for a company that could offer full stability testing, rather than just a cheaper product. Castle Industrial came in and conducted testing on the load stability film they provide, and it was found to be best in class. Carpetright was originally using a 30-micron plastic from another supplier, but they switched to Castle Industrial’s 15-micron plastic, which saved 52% on costs, equating to around £19,000.

Cost Saving

Moreover, Carpetright has seen a significant reduction of 73.6% plastic and CO2 emissions, which equates to 21 tonnes per annum. This reduction is a result of Castle Industrial’s innovative products and processes. Castle Industrial’s team identified inefficiencies in Carpetright’s existing pallet wrapping machines and recommended two new pallet wrapping machines to increase load stability. These machines were purchased for their Florence Supplies, which is another part of their division.

Carpetright’s decision to work with Castle Industrial was based on product and testing, CO2 reduction, and price. According to Pete Newby, the three reasons why he would recommend Castle Industrial are the price, the support and testing, and the CO2 reductions.
