CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
RM2 are committed to policies across our business and activities that follow the spirit and letter of the law and highest ethical standards. We endeavor to maximize our sustainability profile and to act with the interests of all our stakeholders including clients, shareholders, employees and the communities in which we operate. By operating a pool of reusable, logistically-efficient and highly durable pallets, RM2 supports our customers' evolution towards a circular economy.
ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE PALLETS
Life Cycle Analysis Shows Reduced Environmental Impacts of RM2 BLOCKPal™ Pallets:
50% Lower Energy Demand
21% Lower CO2 Emissions
31% Lower Acidification Potential
44% Lower Eutrophication Potential
Greater Durability Enables a Circular, Pooled Model
BLOCKPal pallets have a lifetime of 150+ uses, so only 20% as many pallets are needed for the same number of pallet trips vs. wood pallets.
Lighter Weight Reduces Fuel Consumption
21% reduction in greenhouse gas emission during pallet use, driven mainly by BLOCKPal’s lower weight.
Real-time Asset Tracking Lowers Loss and Waste
Embedded RM2 ELIoT® device tracks each pallet’s location in real time, all but eliminating pallet loss and waste.
No Hazardous Chemicals
The composite material from which the BLOCKPal is constructed does not need treatment with harmful chemical agents for infestation control or fire resistance which affect both use and disposal.
